Safe and Sound in Hubbard, Ohio

---

---

I did indeed survive the storms in Junction City, Kansas and the next day I arrived safety in Warrenton, Mo, at the home of my sister Pat. It was wonderful being with family and I just relaxed and decompressed. I didn't realize how tired I was but all those days of travel really got to me.

Pat made a wonderful dinner and we were joined by Sue, Bill and Enoch to make the evening special. The next day all we did was go to a movie and relax.

On Thursday I had a hair appt to try to get my hair back in shape and then I got the oil changed in the camper so by Friday we were all set to go to Indiana for our cousin reunion.

We started out at 6 am and took the service road, not getting onto I 70 since there was an accident that closed the road. We got past the accident scene but the traffic was bad and it had started raining. Welcome to the congested parts of the east. It took us 1 1/2 hrs to get into Illinois where we stopped and had breakfast. My nerves welcomed that break. In the process we crossed the Mississippi River and I am now officially in the East, boo. I followed Pat to get through St Louis and after breakfast she followed me because I had the GPS to get to our cousin's house.

We arrived at the lake house in Columbus, Indiana about 3pm to be greeted by cousins Barb, Liz, Kathy and Nancy and sister Dedie. A short while later Mary EL arrived and the festivities began. We ate and drank and solved the world's problems for 3 days. There were a few boat rides thrown in.

What happens at the lake, stays at the lake.

Monday morning it was time to say our sad farewells and hit the road for my final leg of the journey home. I'll miss my cousins, til the next time.

I wound my way through Ohio and am spending the night in Hubbard, Ohio just a few miles from the PA border. Not a great campground but convenient to Rt 80.
