What a difference a day makes. We left Sweetwater KOA this morning around 9, sunny and 45. We cruised through Knoxville around 10 with minimal traffic. Easy drive through TN, traffic was light and very few trucks. Same for KY. We stopped in KY for fuel, filled up at $3.45/gal, best price we have seen this trip. No problems with winds or the coach. Enough fuel to get home now. Thumbs Up

Then about ten miles south of Cincinnati we hooked up with I70 and a ton of traffic and trucks. No more cruise control for me! We took the east loop around Cinci, lost most of the trucks but joined back up north of town. Heavy traffic, obligatory construction around Dayton, and cross winds started picking up. The last 100 miles were a PITA. head bang

Pulled into the Wapakeneta KOA around 430. 406 miles today. We are looking at frost here tonight but Kalkaska got two inches of snow last night and today! confusion By the time we get home tomorrow afternoon it should be around 50 and the snow will be gone. (For good I hope!)

It was sunny and 39 degrees at 8:30 when we left Wapakeneta. Light traffic, and no wind good for smooth sailing.

Drove 355 miles home. Arrived about 2:30. Overcast, 43 degrees and light rain. Gee, it's great to be home. head bang

Overall, a very good run. No problems with the coach (other than it does not stay real warm in the low 40's) Drove around 70 mph and saw about 8.5 mpg.

We will unpack from the winter and I will finish a few more projects before the MN GTG.

Have Barth, did travel Tooling Along
