Awake: 5:47am Temp 68 sleep 6+37 cloudy overnight @ Nicktown.
We both ate a Kathy muffin for breakfast & then left Nicktown @ 8:07am taking state road-553 to U.S.-219 south:
to Maryland & then I-68 up & down the hills (been here before) to our 1st fuel station @ "Pilot" in Grantsville, Maryland.
to Maryland & then I-68 up & down the hills (been here before) to our 1st fuel station @ "Pilot" in Grantsville, Maryland. 123 gallons @ $3.95 per gallon. We took this route to get on: U.S.-50. Kathy found out that this route goes all the way from Ocean City, Maryland to the West Coast. Once we started traveling on this highway, it was like a freeway. Smooth, scenic, sometimes (4) lanes & sometimes (2).
After some (200) miles, we only passed (2) signals & that was a new road crossing.
Our dash air conditioning was low on Freon so we drove with the generator running due to the "Hot" weather. We planned our stop for the night in Hillsboro, Ohio @ a Wal-Mart.
381 miles 7+20 hrs 70 gal of fuel avg speed 48 mph & 5.4 miles per gallon.
We went into Wal-Mart to buy some fruit & then Kathy spotted a Lowe's store coming out. She liked the Medicine Cabinets that we purchased on Monday so much that she wanted to buy (4) more. So she walked over to Lowe's & purchased (2) (all they had) for the same discounted price. We put them in the back seat. Temp over 90 degrees. Ugh!
Dinner: Tuna salad with fresh peaches & chips.
Lights out: 9:46.
