Pure Michigan

We left Portage Service Plaza on the Ohio Turnpike this morning about 10, after a restful night with hundreds of big rigs. Actually, it was interesting to see trucks come and go overnight. We felt rather overwhelmed at times with trucks parked all around us.

Setting off to the west on I80, the Turnpike, we settled into a routine on a good highway. Sasha went to sleep, Donna grabbed her phone, and I went into "Travelin' with the Big Boys" mode. We found out where the trucks from the Service Plaza were coming from!

We bailed off of I80 onto I280 in Toledo, going north toward Michigan.

Crossing the Maumee River in Toledo, Ohio, we marveled at the Toledo Skyway Bridge.

We kept looking for the (Grand) Maumee River, but didn't find it. After drifting into Michigan, we again headed west, this time on I94.

Our day ended in the town of Belleville, MI, about 20 miles west of Dearborn. We're staying at the Wayne County Fairgrounds and RV Park, which is a nice quiet, grassy, Good Sam park located in a residential area just out of a commercial part of town. Perfect, with restaurants, gas stations and stores within close distance. The weather is comfortable, and no rain is in sight. We're relaxing this afternoon with plans to stay here five days. We'll see what kind of trouble we can get into!
