We had to stop at the Pennsylvania Welcome Centre on the border with NY State because of the high south winds...you can see Lake Erie in the distance of this shot and it was rough water. Rich said it was because the Lake was warmer than the land and so the winds blow as the hot air rises off the Lake... We felt at the mercy of the weather and didn't know if we should press on or stay put. Lisa called us with the forecast for the area and it seemed like pushing forward was the best idea...
What can I say? Today was a crazy day, winds along the shores of Lake Erie that just about blew some of the rigs around like matchboxes...we were okay but it scared me to see the transports and the other RV's getting blown around. We felt it too believe me!
When we arrived at the North Columbus Flying J Richard tried to activate the electric tounge jack and it has failed. Richard is great at diagnosing problems and fixing them but it is getting power, it just doesnt work... so we need to head 40 miles due west to the Airstream Plant and hang out until they open on Monday...It shows you that you cannot predict what will happen! and it pays to build in some time for these unexpected delays...
Wait a minute ... it means we will spend Halloween in the Terraport in Jackson Centre... I wonder if we need to buy candy???
