      It was windy and rainy overnight and pretty quiet as well, but no problem we slept soundly as usual. Up early computing, and coffees, walkabout the windy parking lot and checked out the store waiting for the sun to come up. But really in no rush today. After checking our tires and lights we pulled out at 8:15 am. Still a bit of morning traffic around Columbus OH. Only a slow down for a few minutes.

6 lanes and no slow down

        We stopped at almost every rest area today to stretch and do a short walkabout, keeps us refreshed. Then just before noon at the last rest area in Ohio we made a nice lunch. 

Tornado shelter too

rest area is under there

Leaving Ohio

      Then zipped through Indianapolis and on  the Effingham Illinois still windy cold and drizzly.

       We don't mind travelling on days like this, pretty cold 45F (7C) windy and drizzly all day long.  We put in 332 miles (532kms) and stopped at 3:15 pm. But we changed time  zones so now 2:15 pm. That's enough driving for one day. We fuelled up here, even a better price for fuel $2:14 a gallon with our Good Sam discount.That's .71 cents a litre in Canadian funds. We topped up with 43 gallons that is a savings of almost $50.00 Cdn on this fill up alone, really gotta love it.

love the rv fuel lanes here at the flying J's
so easy in and out

with our Good Sam card we save 5 cents a gallon so the pump
price is $2:14.

        Now for many years I worked with buses and truckers, loading trailers etc.. and always love to see them in these settings.

         Got parked here set up and fired up our Mr.Heater so we can be toasty warm, relax and get some nice reading time in before making supper.

a nice quiet spot here

     Soon time for supper. I had picked up a couple of these Pork Florentine Pinwheels at Niagara Produce on Monday and wanted to check them out. A pork loin roast rolled with spinach and swiss cheese slices. Easy to do, sear in a cast iron pan , 2 minutes a side , and set the pan in a preheated oven at 350 f for 25 minutes.

these turned out amazing maybe only 20 minutes
in the oven, would be better but oh so tasty
think I can make these at some point

sure hit the spot tonight

332 miles today

      We had another good travel day, just one more long one then looking forward to slowing down quite a bit. Have an appointment at 9 am on Thursday we would like to keep.
      Thanks for stopping in for a peek and like usual hope y'all had an awesome day too.
