June 8, Sunday
This was a travel day across Ohio and into Pennsylvania. Again, traffic around Columbus and Cleveland was light thanks to the weekend. We were amazed at how compact the cities are and how rural are their outskirts. There were far too many dead deer along the roads and we vowed to avoid travel at night. (We don’t like to drive the RV at night anyway but we renewed our decision to pull off the road well before dusk.) The damage to the deer is distressing to see and we can only imagine what the impact would do to the motor home’s fiberglass front cap.
We stopped at a small private campground just west of Erie, PA. We used the laundry facilities to wash all the dusty sweaty clothes from our cave tours then went into Erie for dinner at a local grill. It was strange to follow rural roads that curve, dip and cross at oblique angles. We were reminded that on the East Coast, roads follow streams and Indian trails rather than a rectangular grid. A Walmart stop completed the evening; we’re still discovering forgotten items and restocking consumables. We’ll leave for Niagara Falls tomorrow morning.
