Another good travel day and remember Jake from last Tuesday?

Where are we today ?

Lakewood Village Wapakoneta Ohio

       Not as cold here this morning but it's prepping me for colder weather ahead. Chat with Suzie for a bit waiting for the sunrise then head north on I-75 through the Tennessee  mountains. Beautiful sunny day all the way. Good roads no wind, rain or snow made good time. 

366 miles today

        Do you remember reading last Tuesday's posting when I helped out this young fellow Jake at the rest area in Texas. Well I got this awesome thank you letter from his Dad and Mom for helping him out. Tuesday's posting is HERE  . Well I was glad to help him out and they really appreciated it. I am sure glad that things worked out for him.

"Hello George and Sue…Kevin here…Jake’s dad in Austin.  I just wanted to say, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for helping JAKE, after he ran out of gas!  Not many people would’ve taken the time to do what you did.

Jake showed us his pic on your Blog…very funny!  He’s told my wife and I how grateful he is to have met you.  We had no idea he was headed our way; he surprised us! " 

         Thank you Kevin for the lovely email and glad that he made it home safe and surprised you.

           I got on the road just before 8 am as the sun was shining and roads were clear. First day in a week I was not driving directly into the rising sun, nice!

roads good through the mountains

short while later I was into Kentucky

        The nice things about I-75 no need to navigate, its gonna take me where I want to go, and rest areas to get out and stretch, make good time, was what I need for the last couple legs of this journey.

love the ice frozen on the highway cuts,
glad it's not on the road

          Now almost in Ohio and still great roads.

but now we have snow on the ground,
not on the roads is good

           At 2:30 I pulled into Lakewood Village Resort in Wapakonatea Ohio, A Memebrship park (Coast to Coast) for us and love staying here. Full hookups even winter water if you want it. But the beautiful indoor pool and hot that I was looking forward to are closed for maintenance. $10.00 a night.

the lakes here are frozen 

this the pool and spas that are closed, darn!

       So I took a very long hot shower, to get the frost out of my bones, now that was wonderful!

this be my site

nice view while enjoying supper,
cold but nice

       After my shower, checking emails and whipping up supper (the rest of my rotisserie chicken) and a salad, another walkabout.

love my chicken !

even a nice sunset here, just not crazy about the cold
and white stuff on the ground,

        Temperature about 12f with the wind feels like 0 f. Yep its cold. Got out my winter coat, heavy winter work socks (yep still have one pair), winter mittens and Toque (knitted hat). I will be good to go for tomorrows journey. Looks like I can make a run for it early tomorrow and beat the weather home. And be with my honey!!!

       Thanks again for all your wonderful comments and support sure helps the miles whip on by.
