The Eve of the 4th

Well, here we sit, just outside of Canton, Ohio, at a nice KOA Kampground way off the beaten path. We arrived here about 8:00 - just in time for Jenny to spend about an hour in the swimming pool before it closed.
We left Utica, IL pretty early this monring - about 8:00 - and headed East. Jenny chose the position as co-pilot and Chris was still sleeping, so I was able to hang out on the couch and read a couple of magazines - it was very relaxing. Bill had a mission today - to find a Camping World store. First came Home Depot and Loew's, then Dick's Sporting Goods and Cabela's - now he has discovered Camping World. We can only hope that they don't put a Camping World within the area that he services for work - if they do, I can only imagine what he may come home with on various trips!
The Camping World store was cool - we picked up a few new games, a couple of quick fixed for the camper, and a new map that includes all the Good Sams locations. They had some really neat stuff - Campers think of everything!
The drive today was pretty uneventful - just more fields, corn, etc. etc. etc.
In the morning, we will be visiting the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton - about 15 minutes from here. We then have reservations at a campground on the Erie Lake for tomorrow night - about 150 miles from here. We will look to find some fireworks for the 4th somewhere on the lake tomorrow night. From Erie, we will be heading to Niagara Falls, and then home through Canada. We plan to reach Chatham on Saturday late evening, so that we have a day to regroup, etc. etc. before heading back to work.
Hope you all have a great 4th!
Sue
