WHITE KNUCKLES

Thurs, 5/13/10. Now that it's daylight, we can see our location. If you read the sign below, it says "no overnight camping permitted." Tim says "we were only parking." OooKayy..












RVTip #3 - Don't leave your camera battery charger at home. Searching numerous stores for purchasing another results in $70+. Have the one at home mailed general delivery to a P.O. of your choice.

9:00am - Admiring the quaint farmlands, we travel along Hwy 3- passing a Great Lake - en route to the USA border. Question : How many Great Lakes are there and what are their names? (answer at end of post).




At 10:45am we reach Windsor, Canada, and cross the bridge into Detroit, MI. As we veer onto I-75 South, we notice a Dunkin Donuts (hooray!), and quickly veer off. Content with a breakfast of oatmeal and DD coffee, we veer back onto I-75 South. What's this??? With the foot to the pedal to the floor, the RV will not exceed 45-50 mph!

Surely everyone has experienced other #!@!! drivers on the road going 20-25 mph slower than the speed limit. Now we were the ones being cursed at. Having to be in Pocohontas, Ill. on Saturday (Tim's P.O. choice), an appointment was set up with a mechanic in Indianapolis for tomorrow-Friday. There was no stopping...we had to keep moving (like an inchworm) through aggressive traffic. Taking turns behind the wheel, we reached Indianapolis about 7 hours later. Have you ever seen knuckles as white as the cotton in a Tylenol bottle?














The drive was excruciating for Zack.

Lake Haven Retreat sounded inviting, so we rolled into our spot and took a breath before having our "first" RV hookup (water, sewer, electric and cable) lesson.



Night fell, so did the rain.
Need to buy more wine.









Answer to the question above: There are 5 Great Lakes... Ontario, Erie, Michigan, Huron and Superior.
