Note to Ohio....

Get a dome on the capitol! LOL

We spent the night in Upper Sandusky, which is actually south of the real Sandusky, but upriver on the Sandusky River, so I guess that makes sense... In an odd Ohio sort of way....LOL

We are still poking along on US30, basically trending the Lincoln Highway. There are several places where it leaves 30, but if we took all of the bypasses, we'd still be in IL.

You really feel like you're in the east once you get to Mansfield,OH, because it starts getting hillier, and the road gets narrower and crappier. :P

Bad experience years ago when we were our way back from NY, trailering the Ile de France (yes that's right). The trailer axle broke on a Sat night, nothing open on Sunday, and we had to spend a ouple of nights in a cheap motel while waiting for it. Decided not to wait, so rented a UHaul to throw it all in. Ended up with a busted windshield from some dumb truck blowing out a tire and the pieces hitting us. Much nicer this time.

On our way to East Liverpool now, where the Longaberger pottery used to be made. Not sure what happens there now!

Lots of oddness in Ohio. Glad your trip is better this time. Be safe!

P.S. I think there was supposed to be a dome originally. :D

Hi Tracey! Yes, Ohio has treated me well since then! LOL I always have to comment about the capitol! I'm a bit of a capitol dome snob, coming from Illinois, Missouri, and Iowa! *VBG*
