Day Ten
KOA, Butler, OHStarting mileage 90857 / Ending mileage 90950
Everyone seems to have slept well – except for us…
Tonight we’ll sleep on the dinette bed which is slightly narrower but a little
longer, and hopefully won’t make the dogs feel as misplaced.
David did dog duty @ 6:00am, then back to bed
until we all stirred around after 8:00. He then played super-host by making
coffee and pancakes for everyone! Ate outside again, then sat around &
talked awhile until it was time for Dad & Elsie to take Lars back to
Columbus (needed to check on his dogs by noon or so). Lars gave us his work
phone # so we can call him when we get back to Ohio with all our “stuff” and
he’ll help us move in to storage or a house.
After they left we hung around the trailer and had
a hot dog lunch while we planned an outing. We left @ 1:30 to tour the general
area; Mansfield, Butler; Loudonville. Talked to Lynne the Ohio agent we’ve been
emailing with & set up a 1pm meeting on Tuesday. Got a voicemail msg. from *Karin. Very difficult to find a spot where the cell phone is not on Roam or
Extended Service and Analog.
As we drove around we wrote down some tel. #’s from “for sale” signs, but more lucrative was the real estate section of the newspaper we bought later
when we grocery shopped at Gribble IGA. After completing our grocery list @ 4:00pm we headed back to
the KOA.

David observed that most back roads do not have
any speed limit signs – must be up to each driver… We’re really enjoying the
no-stoplight roads & all the pretty scenery, knowing that this isn’t
possible to find in Western Washington.
David spent a while oohing and aahing over
potential properties & homes for sale (newspaper ads) due to the low prices
compared to WA state. Then we had dinner of hamburger & fries and cleaned
the trailer a little for Dad & Elsie’s return visit. Stayed outside in the
screen room until it was too buggy and dark to read. D&E showed up @ 9pm
and we all talked a while before going to bed. The plan for tomorrow is to drop
by the [homeowners] @ 10. I really hope we can get a decision from them.
