Adventure has begun!

I am so pleased that everything went off with no problems:

The afternoon before we left Eaton, friends told me of 2 super reliable people who were looking to rent for much of this summer. Since we had just finished cleaning and since everyone we knew it seemed, knew and trusted them, we agreed!! We had one phone conversation with them and had our friends go through our procedures and now it is a done deal...and the house will be taken care of!

Then there was the wonderful Eaton Tapas event that felt like a proper send off ..

In the morning we drove the RV and car to the Ossipee mall area and Don hitched it up without any problems the first time! We drove 8 hours and the one place we could find to park overnight was at a Camping World..of course Don drooled over bigger and better campers..

Today we started at 7am as we were awaken by trucks and finally ended up in Ohio in a little farm town past Columbus. We tried 2 campgrounds which were full but found this one which is basically a field with a few trees and electrical connections. Since there were no Hilton's near by we found a shady spot here with a nice breeze, needed as it is 85 degrees.

When we first got here we were very skeptical. As you can see from the picture it was run down and we were greeted with an old car that looked like it was wrapped in Saran Wrap.

A guy did come by who was temporarily managing it and said the owner was 103 and doesn't see the point of putting $ into it..."besides there is a golf course next door and they might buy the land." Let's hope they do so soon. :).

Tomorrow we are off to Indiana and will have dinner with Don's brother and sister and hopefully other family members will show up too.
