Random Acts, V 13.0

The trip meter eclipsed the 8,000 mile mark today! Now 20 states. And with the colors starting to coat the leaves of the northeast, we are approaching our 3rd season and Teri's favorite, Fall. Speaking of, she has an educational and insightful approach to our RV'ing at her blogsite. However, if you just want the usual rant, useless drivel and seldom beneficial full-timing RV post, you have arrived at the correct location. I have learned if you expect very little, you are never disappointed. Welcome to a new post and don't expect much.

Some pix and happs of the past few days.


I am thinking a better name for our campground in Sandusky, OH. would have been "Tuff Shed Resort".


 
This is about as close as I will ever get the wife to a roller coaster. The steel roller coaster (blue) at Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH. has the 2nd longest drop (400feet) in the world. Teri starts shaking when she gets on the 3rd step of the fifth wheeler.  But, it was a gorgeous day for a bike ride of 10 miles along Lake Erie.


You know you are not in a very remote area when you can walk to breakfast and enjoy this.


Looks like this little 6 week old feller came over to console me. Must have been a blog reader knowing I was suffering from a massive case of pet withdrawal. And yes, he got a 1/2 cup of milk which will now tilt the grocery budget.



Lead me not into temptation, I have no problem on my own. I am so grateful neither of us are diabetic. Toft's Dairy ice cream----that was a SMALL--4 scoops,  2 different flavors, $3. And sharing is overrated,so we didn't.


Someone amongst us thinks it's fun to play Jenga with the dish drainer we bought at Toys R Us.


 In my past 8 days on the walking/running/cycling trail, I have found coinage. At this pace, Workkamping may no longer be needed.


Alex, I will take "Repair Work That RV Wives Rate Unsatisfactory" for $200.Another great RV invention--a plastic crank handle for a mast that has to torque up an antenna that weighs about 20 pounds. Acceptable solution pending, functional solution in place.


We are in search of a 12-step program.



Here we sit, nestled in our shady slice of heaven amongst 70 acres of campground in Conneaut, Ohio, about 2 miles from the south shore of Lake Erie. We are hunkered down here as the final onslaught of Summer campers march in for Labor Day weekend. Here's praying the remnants of Isaac spoils someone else's weekend.

Day 145, the journey continues.

  1. Your spot looks awesome! A pull-thru I am guessing? Ha! Our Coffeyville spot was yet another back-in as was the spot at Reliable RV in Springfield. Jerry thinks he is getting good at them :).

    Between the Snickers, the McDonald's and the ice cream I hope you guys are working out a lot. Ha ha! I wouldn't suggest eating those things and THEN riding the roller coaster!

    Hope you guys have a great weekend!!

  2. I am unable to back in cause my 2nd chin is wrapped around my neck restricting my turn-around abilities. Thanks for checking in.

  3. We were in that area on Saturday when we went looking for covered bridges and visited President Garfield's house. We have really enjoyed our stay in Ohio. Hope you have a great stay!

    1. Yeah, Patty we noted that on your blog which we follow. Here in Conneaut alone, there are 4 covered bridges, which we also are intrigued by. Safe travels!

    2. I hope you are able to get a map. I'm sure it makes finding them so much easier. LOL

  5. We have that same dish drainer! I think ours was a complimentary accessory.

    Regarding the two blogs....I love reading about the trip from both perspectives.

    1. I certainly would hope you didn't pay for one :)---"Bunkhouse sleeps 8, dish drainer holds 1 plate"--go figure....

  6. Snickers...yum. Enjoy those fall colors in the midwest. Michigan is beautiful in the fall. Oops, forgot it was a 10 minute visit. Enjoy the east :-) the reds, oranges, and yellows are amazing!

    1. Yeah, you are among the Aspen gold, beautiful as well, but not as dynamic as Fall in the East.
