2 RV's to North Canton OH

... spending the night at Green OH

Breakfast was eggs and sausage.

We pull out at 7:30 AM.

1st stop is Morris at the Loves for fuel. The rewards bar code didn't work and then we maxed out our swipes for our credit card. So BB had to go inside and get the pumps turned on. But when you pre-pay, the gallons are not listed, so we go back in for a final receipt. The cashier didn't know how and it took the manager a while to figure it out.

... and we only put in three gallons to make it to OH where gas is cheaper again.

No slow downs around Chicago this Sunday AM. Speeds were the posted plus.

2nd stop was the rest area in Rolling Prarie.

3rd stop was the Loves in Edon for fuel and food. This one works, $.10 a gallons savings (for now) Then we park and go inside to eat. There is a line at Arby's and five more people coming a different door get ahead of us. So we go use the restroom and the line doesn't seem to have moved. We go for self food.

BB finds a grilled chickens sandwich so she's good. They don't have any of the chicken salad sandwiches here today so I look for something else. End up with two things off the rollers that were so greasy that I couldn't eat the whole thing.

Before we go in, BB and I do some test on the RV and correct the issue we this AM. I send a message to dispatch so they can advise the other drivers. Once we get a message back I'll write more.

4th stop is in Clyde at the rest area, from here we make our hotel reservation. We've gained range so far but we will hit a head wind when we turn south at Cleaveland.

5th and final stop is the Comfort Inn in Green. It is half the price compared to the hotel we stayed at the first time next to the airport/drop.

TGI Friday's is next door and is the only food within walking distance. I order two appetizers and can only eat half of each. BB orders fish and eats it all.

We got to the hotel at 4 PM, hour hours later we are still talking about what to do tomorrow. We do now have a plan, subject to getting out of town ASAP and the weather tacking further north.

Getting out of town ASAP may be an issue, remember the seven RV's on the load board last week. They are all likely going to be here tomorrow AM. And it takes them about a half hour per unit. So it could be 1 PM when we pull out of town.

We did the math on all of the IN trips and we just can't make the same money as we do on the RV's. There are two trucks going to NC and we would make half as much as we did on the RV's and then still be 1,000 miles from home. And taking just one truck away from the direction of home just does not pay.

Following with a rental car just does not pay (Unless we got the car for $5 a day like we used to, after spring break)

So we are heading back to Iowa. Our plan now is to take our 1st car to Davenport, switch rental cars and drop the second rental car in Mason City. That SHOULD get us back below the snow line before the worst of it hits on Wednesday.

Tomorrow we should be to the drop when the open at 9 AM. We could be out by 10 AM or 1 PM. Our hope is to get back to Ottawa. If we only make to back to Elkhart like last time, we will need to leave the hotel at 6 AM (home time) to make it to Davenport to get to the lot and out of town again by dark. The next two days will be a push.

If we get delayed or the storm moves faster or more southern, then we will try to find work along I-80 to pay the hotels until we can back to the RV's.
