We got a late start for a longer drive today to right outside Sandusky, Ohio.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It was mostly freeway so fairly uneventful.\u00a0\u00a0 Lots of road construction in Michigan and Ohio.\u00a0\u00a0 Got to go thru my first EZ-Pass toll booths today. \u00a0[A big thank you to Connie for going through all our mail and sending the transponder out!!] \u00a0The arm went up on the second one,\u00a0 the first one was already up.\u00a0\u00a0 No indication it took our money,\u00a0 no lights at all. \u00a0 I guess the arm going up when leaving the turnpike was a good sign.\u00a0 I got onto my IPASS account and there is no activity yet.\u00a0\u00a0 I guess electronic transactions take a while for the EZ-Pass folks.\u00a0 Maybe they use sneaker.net. \u00a0\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

We just ordered pizza for delivery to the campsite… It’s been a long time between pizza’s..\u00a0 Maybe April?\u00a0\u00a0 Geez.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>About 60 miles east of our overnight was Cleveland.\u00a0 I didn’t imagine the factory of sadness town would be so nice looking. \u00a0[I was bummed it was too far to go to Michael Symon’s restaurant downtown!]<\/p>\n

The second leg of the trip was about as long as the first day’s but at least we ended up on Grand Island next to Niagara Falls.\u00a0\u00a0 As we got into the park, it started to pour,\u00a0\"\"<\/a> I almost thought it was hailing, it sounded like hail, but it didn’t look like it.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s always fun setting up in the rain.\u00a0\u00a0 Just finding the site in the downpour was a challenge, and of course it was a back-in site.\u00a0 Pull thru’s on rainy days are a godsend.<\/p>\n

This campground is very, very nice! \u00a0 Even the showers are top shelf, although the water pressure was a bit on the wimpy side.<\/p>\n

Off to the Falls in the morning.<\/p>\n
