Awake: 5:28am Temp 63 sleep 5+28 sunny overnight @ Watertown, WI.
Quietly we retract our slides & reel in the 50 amp shore power cable from the Jacuzzi outlet. Then Kathy begins walking down the driveway to keep a sharp eye on any low hanging limbs & any other objects along the driveway.
If the (14) people staying overnight for the Sabbath are not awake yet, they will be as I start the CAT engine & idle down the circular driveway. Once I have the MH around the tight corner, Kathy walks back to get the Suzuki & we’ll meet about ½ mile down the road to hitch up our tow car.
(42) miles later, having gotten permission for a short stay, we park the bus in an empty lot @ the Wisconsin State Fairgrounds in Milwaukee. We detach the Suzuki & drive to the nearest Trader Joe’s store for groceries. Then visit the Advanced Health Care Unit in Milwaukee to see Dr. Robert about Kathy’s recovering nasal polyp condition. After a brief exam, he reports that, although she still has polyps, they are reduced in size & if she continues with daily nasal irrigations and the daily use of corticosteroid nasal spray, the polyps should remain under control and she will be able to avoid the need for surgery.
We are back on the road (4) hrs later @ 12:25pm. I-94 to I-294 to I-80 then US-30 to the Wal-Mart parking lot in Ontario, Ohio; arriving @ 9:20pm EST.
Today’s travel: 470 miles 9+06 time 6.3 mpg 75.1 gal used 51.6 avg speed
Like a good camper should, I asked the night supervisor if it would be ok for us to park our bus in the far corner of the parking lot for an overnight stay. She asks a few questions & then says: “We would be glad to have you.”
