Cincinnati

Joining you this morning from Cincinnati, Ohio on the banks of the Ohio, actually we are on a little lake just off the Ohio River which is the border between Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana (free geography lesson). We arrived here last Saturday and have been enjoying visiting my sister Judy and Esly, and Es, Rob and Tina. The food has been wonderful, somehow house food is a bit more elaborate then fifth wheel food. It has been an unusually mild July here in Cincinnati so we have missed the normal heat and humidity this time of year.

Suzy and Judy are off to the Quilt shops this morning so I am left to my own devices. That sounds ominous doesn’t it?

We have had our first mechanical problem with the fifth wheel (FW). The mechanism that jacks up the front of the FW broke loose from its stanchion (leg) and in doing so broke a few other parts. Fortunately the FW was on the truck when this happened so we were able to get to a park and get situated. We have ordered the parts, and the last ones will be here soon, and Saturday a mobile repairman will install. It couldn’t have happened at a better time, with us intending to stay here for a while anyway. Guess I knew what I was doing buying the extended warranty protection.

We will head out to the NE Sunday or Monday toward Columbus, Cleveland and Lake Erie as we make our way toward PA, NY, and Canada.

Will have another blog on the Presidential Libraries we visited on the way here. They were very interesting and can’t wait to visit more. Cheers
