Flying J Spiceland Indiana

It was cold over night 26F at 5am (-3C) and we had a bit more snow but not too bad. We toasty warm inside so no problem there, much warmer when we don't have to open our slide.
After coffees, computing and a walkabout the Walmart for a few more purchases, checked out tires and lights, secured our coach and hit the road at 8:15 am. The roads were good, dry, no wind and the sun came out about noon, really warming up the day.

lots of ice on the front of our coach

snow and ice on our car

the roads are bare and pretty dry

After we stopped at the Indiana welcome centre and made a bite to eat for lunch and a nice walkabout. Once past the welcome centre a few miles not much signs of snow. Took the southern by-pass (465) around Indianapolis that we like, no slow downs and a great road.

Now after lunch Suzie can have a nap, no need to navigate. Back on I-70 east the bypass around Indianapolis and to the Flying J in Spiceland, we have stayed at before. Just a nice easy drive.

I think this navigator needs a rest

The by-pass right here, miss the city and the traffic, easy-peasy

A nice relaxing travel day and no real hurry, we planned on 274 miles and arrived at the Flying J in Spiceland Indianna . At 2 pm but now in Eastern Standard time it was 3 pm. We pulled in topped up our propane tank and gas tank then just pulled around and got a nice parking spot in the RV parking spaces. Temperature here was 61F (16C) and sunny love it ! So got a few walkabouts enjoying the sunshine and warm weather feels good to stretch my legs again.

all parked for the night

Now for supper tonight Suzie decided that she would like to grab something at Denny's. So I guess I don't need to cook. Hmm , but I have a plan, passenger wiper blade needs replacing Again! I checked out what they had and got a much better quality one. A few minutes later that was taken care of, and I checked e-mails relaxed for a bit then we headed on in for supper.

They were not too busy and we had great service. Loved some of the pics inside some retro stuff.

there we are in Spiceland !

from days gone by

Suzie's Omellete

my spicy chicken skillet

Well supper was tasty I wanted a new menu chicken item , but it was so new they did not have it in yet, (guess the chickens are still growing) so I settled on the spicy chicken Skillet that I like and Suzie the Philly steak omelette both meals were excellent, cooked to order, we thought about taking some home, and split a desert, well no take homes and no desert it was that good. Many years ago we went to a Denny's and did not enjoy the meal at all, but since then we thought we would try it just lately, they have changed the menu we have found mostly so far much better food and service. We are not much into large chain restaurants as a rule.
We scanned for local Hi def channels on our antenna and picked up about 50 , so lotsa choices, we found a John Wayne and Ann-Margaret a 1973 movie Train Robbers , we both love these old westerns.
That was it about it for another great travel day.
Thanks for joining us and hope y'all had a good one as well.
