Day 60 – Bellevue, Ohio

A thunderous start for our travel day today, complete with some rain, which the locals say is needed.  Don and I had a relatively short walk this morning, as we all wanted to get our act together and get on the road before the weather became worse.  We did get going a little before eleven, which is doing OK for us.  Heading west on I-80, Geri made contact with the Lazy J RV Park, where we are currently hanging out, and got our reservation.  We entered Ohio and cruised down the Turnpike ($15.80 worth) until our turnoff about 50 miles short of Toledo.  Garmy helped us find the Park very easily, and we were all pleased to see how grassy it was and how large the sites were.  The only problem we found was the satellite access, which was a little spotty, creating some interruptions in service.  Not that I care that much, but I truly want them to be happy in their camping circumstances, and if they can’t obtain 472 channels of TV broadcasts, they are less than pleased. 

After completing their setup, I was left to nap in the rig while they went shopping in Bellevue, which apparently was successful; they came back with many bags of groceries, apparently none of them for me.  Geri got my dinner ready, while Don started preparation of their food, which was a pasta dish with Italian sausage, mushrooms, bell pepper, and sun dried tomatoes.  They were smacking their lips over it, and I got my turn when the plates needed cleaning up.  They were right, it was great! 

Geri got Don to move the coach forward a few feet, hoping to get a better grab on the satellite.  In doing so, we seem to have alienated our nextdoor neighbor, who ran inside her coach and shut the door as soon as our engine started.  Oh, well; at least the move worked, and we have super TV reception.  Geri took me for another nice walk, and the Park Manager, who was closing up the office, recognized me and gave me some very nice treats.  I’m such a charmer! 

I don’t know what we’re doing tomorrow, but I don’t think anyone else does, either.  All I can say is, whatever happens, I’ll report it!  Vaya con Perros!
