     Another mild night for sleeping and we slept well at 5 am 52 F and going to be a wonderful short travel day. Got my oatmeal and coffee intake, a bit of computing done then a few walkabouts this Flying J checking the store and all the trucks I enjoy watching. Walking into the Flying J at 6:30 can smell these amazing Cinnabons here baking and smell so wonderful, And I know Suzie loves these, So I picked up a 4 pack of mini ones to keep her happy , not bad price still warm and only $3:50 for 4  of them a nice treat.
      We hit the road about 8:30 this morning for a wonderful travel day, Nice and warm, sunshine and no wind or rain , perfect!

Not far down the road we crossed into Ohio.
 on I-70 a very rough road.

these tiny Cinnabons are excellent
 for a nice morning snack

Ran into some interesting skies along the way
love the sun streaks 

        Like I mentioned I-70 had some very rough sections, think my teeth rattled a few times, but all seemed to be good. Headed north on I-75 and stopped at a rest area 30 miles south of Wapakoneta. For a stretch. Hmm open our door and our electric  step did not got out.  So I jumped out used the facilities  here and climbed back in. Going to start our coach and NOPE nothing. A real nice feature with our motorhome is we have an auxiliary start, Push a button on the dash and start the coach with our house batteries. Coach started steps  work , but what is the problem?  So I checked,  looks like a battery cable broke off from our engine battery. Not, good. But with the coach running we headed north to our campsite in Wapakoneta,  got checked in and set up on a nice pull through site. by !0:30 this morning.
      We enjoyed a tasty light lunch then I went into town 3 minutes away to O'Reilly auto parts and bought a new battery cable end for 5 bucks. Back home cleaned up the battery terminals and wires. Installed the new terminal and all hooked up again, Yahoo the coach started and seems to be just fine. At least until till we get back home hopefully .

oops this is not good

new connection and all cleaned up
and works wonderful easy fix

    Then I whipped across  the road to Walmart for a few veggies and picked up a 5lb chicken for supper to cook on our Weber Q only .97 cents a lb , yes we do love our chicken especially for this price.

So many kids is this park having fun. nice to see
after a winter away with seniors

awesome weather and the campground is very busy
74F and shorts this afternoon

our nice pull through site

     Love the views here and our Weber ready to go.

     Neighbours beside us Tim and Linda from Ohio invited us over for Happy hour, always nice to meet new people in our travels. What a very nice friendly couple. We shared lots of stories and conversation, They were heading out for dinner so we tried not to keep them too long And came home to preheat our Weber and cook up this wonderful chicken for supper. We had a mini rose bush I bought Suzie for Valentines day that we cannot take across the border so she gifted it to them, they have a house and can take it , thanks guys.

Tim and Linda what a super couple
they are leaving in the morning,
hope we meet up again 

      Got our chicken on the Q and we enjoyed some reading time outside loving this wonderful warm weather. Had my shorts and sandals on for  a few hours today sure was wonderful.

just over an hour our chicken was perfect

added to our salad sure hit the spot
more leftover chicken
and another pot of soup soon

       Then I took our garbage out and caught a nice sunset right here, what a great way to end a short travel day .

wonderful sunset for a wonderful day

     That was it for a short travel day, Got our battery issues fixed for now and can enjoy a nice relaxing evening here with some great weather again for a day or two.
