2 RV's to Hershey PA (delivered)

... spending the night at Maumee OH

Breakfast, we came down late because we had no where to go. And we found out why the hotel was full and the parking lot was empty. Tour bus(s) Two people working to keep the food items full. I got the last of the bacon, then they switched over to sausage.

At 9 AM we got our ride to the airport. We are only a couple of blocks from the airport but but between here and there runs the electric train. So walking across the tracks is not recommended. The rental agency's open at 9 AM so no reason to get there earlier.

One person in line ahead of us. A few questions and they hand us the keys. Back at the lot we throw our stuff in the rental car and head out.

I hadn't like the way the computer routed us so I made up my own route. Still not the best route but I got there. First I fueled, the place was small and I had close to a 40 footer. My camera didn't focus so I didn't get a picture of the sales tag.

As I pull up to the drop, I can see our other RV's so I know I'm in the right area. But we have to go all the way around one of the big event buildings and then end up in the line with all the people going to the amusement park which opened at 9 AM. This place is made for cars so I had to take up two lanes to make the final turn.

First they need to wash them. I get in the line and then am told to bypass the line I was in. It looked like today was 'our day,' so we got priority. The other drivers from other companies had to wait until none of us were waiting to get washed. Looks like I was there a little over a half hour, so not too bad.

Back to the hotel to get BB's RV. We found a better way to go than I had taken. And then BB wouldn't let me take the rest of the way I had taken but that isn't what the GPS was saying ... now. But we got back.

Then on the way back to the drop, BB forgot how we had planned on going so we still have not gone the best way.

This happened somewhere on the route that we took three times ... 1st time I noticed a small dead deer. 2nd time I noticed a guy with his bike standing near the deer and also a car parked near. 3rd time was a few cop cars and an ambulance. BB saw someone wheeling a bike away and someone being loaded in ... we are guessing the person on the bike got hit.

BB ... she knew the routine so that made it easier. But the line was gone and so were the people who were checking us it. My dispatcher had called just before we got to the drop to give us another cell number because the inspectors were moving around and may not be there when we got back. We know them and they knew we were bringing another RV.

Not sure if the 2nd RV even took 15 minutes to inspect and wash. And we were gone.

... and this time we are taking the freeway back, not the back roads the company routed us on.

Less than an hour down the road and we stop at an Oasis for Roy Rogers. I thought they were all gone. They have changed. No more shelf food. Pretty much like any other fast food now, order and wait. Not great, but OK. At least they were open. The Sboro's and Aunt Annie's next to them were closed.

We stop again just for a break, here two other food chains were closed.

Not sure why but I've been getting tired the last few trips when traveling in the rental car. Not rumble strip tired but wearing.

Another oasis, more fast food. Jimmy John's ??? so that is what we got. But they were all out of the 'slim Jim' size so we had to get the regular size. Then I got a smoothie from the 'Fresh' place next to it. This Oasis also had a Wendy's and a Dunkin. All busy.

Another couple of hours and we are at Maumee at the Comfort Inn for the night. But 1st we stop in Perrysburg at the Loves for cheap gas. Still the cheapest until we get back into Iowa.

Two more hours to go to where most of the work trips are in Indiana. We will call in the AM to see what pays and what is left. We have the car for a week and as of Friday the only work in our area was a trip of less than 100 miles.

The way it looks we will try to keep busy near here for the rest of the week. If there is long work somewhere we may grab it and ditch the car, otherwise we plan on being home by next weekend and not do any long trips until after mid October ...
