Got an early start this morning for our trip to Alum Creek State Park, near Delaware, Ohio. Even though the trip was only 200 miles, we were a little concerned about delays related to road repairs on I 75, especially in Ohio. There was significant construction until well south of Toledo, but very lttle delay. We got to Alum Creek about 2 PM. Luckily we beat the big rain storm which hit about 3:30.
The campsite is really nice sized, good spacing, treed perimeter, paved, with good park roads. The bathouse is OK, but not as nice as we’ve seen. Our home for the next 5 days.
The worst of the trip was Michigan’s end of I-75. Since we run 60 to 65, we get relegated to the right truck lane. Even trucks pass us. They should rename it Michigan’s Baja. Anyone who wants to make a case for Michigan’s crappy roads and too heavy trucks should drive the right 2 lanes of this poor excuse for an Interstate. Many areas were too rough to run above 50 mph. Geez, the truck traffic, in the 100’s, nose to tail, occupy both lanes.
Fortunately, we tie all our cabinet doors shut, because as usual, the bumps unlatched a couple of the cabinets, but being tied kept the contents from escaping. We’ve learned that lesson the hard way.
