This trip started with a few goals in mind. Visit people in IL the timeframe of Aug 27- Sept 6. The vacation until early Oct and the visit people before heading home. The first part of the visitation aspect was successfully completed. Heading east and into Ohio things were derailed. Deb's Mom passed away and everything was changed. Not sure when we will get home but the vacation has been cancelled thus ending the blog. This is the final post.

Today was a sunny 300.5 miles as we moved east and managed to get to Williamstown, OH. Mostly two lane highway as we stayed off the interstate as much as possible. Generally not smooth but considering it was a holiday also very empty. We had the road mostly to ourselves. So far on this trip we have only managed one gas stop at less than $3.00 a gallon. Here in Ohio it runs about $3.09. The only photo we took was one of a sign of the town of Remington, IN since our eldest granddaughter's name is Remington. Might post it later. Total miles traveled to date 3374.7. Tomorrow we will head to NY and set up for the night possibly in Harpursville. That will allow some leisure travel the next couple days through the mountains before reaching Maine on Sat.

We have come to the end of this part of the friend visitation portion of this trip. Today, Sunday 9/6 we're spending the last day in Bloomington, IL These are people Deb has known for almost 50 years. The last week has been visits with her Aunt and high school friend, a couple she has known since college and this couple. Tomorrow we get back on the road and head east. Next sightseeing stop will be Mt Washington in New Hampshire. We will spend 2 nights there before ending up in the campground in Maine on Sat 9/11. The distance from here to Maine is just over 1400 miles. After tomorrow's travel I will post the days and the trips total miles so far. I know from research that wifi will be spotty over the next few days but I will try to post as often as possible now that we are back to the scenic portion of the trip. Til next time.
