We departed the farm at about 9:30am. Our dogs were sad to see us go. So was my uncle Alan, who will be watching the mutts during our extended adventure. While I'm sure Alan will miss us, I'm also pretty sure at least part of his emotions upon our departure were related to him having to deal with our animals...
We had planned to stop at a rest stop near Mansfield and make sandwiches for lunch. But as we approached, we saw a sign for Skyline. Knowing it was unlikely we would see another Skyline during our trip, we decided 4-ways was a better choice.
Now, most Skyline parking lots are not designed for big rigs, and my 50ft setup is pretty large. But, we did a drive-by and decided to chance it. In the end, we got our Skyline, and we left there staying on pavement the whole time.
Around 4 or so, we hit the Pennsylvania line. We stopped at the first rest stop, checked for geocaches, and none were listed close by. But, as we are learning, Cadence has an uncanny ability to find caches. In fact, as she walked toward the restrooms, she stopped and pulled a cache, apparently placed but not yet posted online, from a sign. We signed it (First to Find BEFORE even available!!!).
6 miles later we pulled off and headed towards a campground. Nice place actually. Without a reservation, we got a lakefront spot.
We checked in, setup, and headed for the "beach" which is more of a rocky shore. The girls got a good dose of Lake Erie water, without bathing suits, of course. Showers all around, and then movies. Thank goodness for TVs in our camper.
For 6+ hours in the truck on the road, it was a pretty good day. Tomorrow we'll check out of here and set off toward Niagara Falls.
