That was a rude awakening !

Where are we today ?

        Having great night's sleep here at the Flying J in Spiceland Indianna Lotsa room at the front away from the truckers in the back and it was very quiet other than the heavy rain. When all of a sudden we heard a very large bang and and our coach rocked back and forth!  WTH! We both woke up and hopped out of the bed opened the blind on Suzie's side to notice a motorhome pulling a large trailer pulling away quickly heading to the interstate. Hm off course it was dark and raining no way to get a license number.
Grabbed our hats and shoes and went outside to survey the damage.
       Not too bad, but bad enough it hit our left rear compartment took off some trim, a small hole in the tail light lense, of course paint damage and body work will be needed. The good thing was the compartment still opens and our slide was not open.
lots of room here
at least we can still access that compartment
the lock and latch still work
not real bad but bad enough
2 black smudges just before the slide out, glad we had it closed
tiny hole in tailight lens 
       Ok we awake now may as well have breakfast and think about this. Went inside to tell them and ask for the phone number for the police. We waited a bit while Suzie called our insurance broker to report it. And called the Sheriff's department and they promptly sent a nice officer to write up a report for our insurance company. Not much left to do other than wait for the rain to let up and some day break. And hear back from the insurance company.
       Well after 9am it was not letting up so we hopped on the road heading east on I-70, and north on I-75 to Wapakoneta Ohio only 118 miles. Destination, Arrowhead Lakes resort a CTC membership park only $10.00 a night with fullhookups, free wifi (not great, but sometimes not bad) and a very nice indoor pool. It was a very nice drive (lol) if it was not for the major downpour that is only supposed to end at Midnight tonight now at least we are in a campground with services, the weather not expected to get any better, snow tomorrow?  Checked in and got a pull through site across for Bill and Patsy , They were just heading out will see them later probably.

      Love the pool and hot tubs here not today but hopefully soon.
yup it is wet here
             Shortly after 4 pm Bill and Patsy returned, we chatted for a bit, they took Clemson for a walk and we joined them for a later than usual happy hour, nice to do some more catchups for a day or two.  Sounds like they had a great day out and about touring the area.
doggie fix for Suzie with Clemson
chatting wit Bill and Patsy
        Soon time to head home and whip up supper for tonight gonna shake and bake a couple of boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the oven, no point setting up our Weber Q today, possible more rain and maybe even snow, no problem we quite comfy here.
anther treat and was tasty
        Supper sure hit the spot and the rain is holding off for a while yet. No problem once again we settled in for a few days with FHU.s. Like it here before we head back home into colder Ontario.
       Thanks for dropping on by for a peek!
only 118 miles today
