Upon leaving the Rippling Waters Campground, we drove to Pocatalico, WV library, accessed their Wi-Fi, and posted a trip report to the blog.
Had some feelings of frustration today. I was envying those other campers who were taking the time to kick back, relax, and do some fishing in the lake. But I knew we had to make some miles if we planned to reach Niagara Falls in the near future. I'm glad we took the time at the library. Rita sent Lola an e-card for her birthday on July 26. I sent several pictures to our BMW club newsletter editor of scenes from the rally we attended in Johnson City.
As we drove north on I-77 toward Parkersburg, WV it dawned on me that I was supposed to take I-79 in Charleston to route me through the edge of Pittsburgh, and on to Buffalo, NY.
Instead, I had stayed on I-77 which took us north through Ohio to Lake Erie, where we accessed I-90 and traveled east.
About 22 miles east of Cleveland, Rita found a good prospect for our night's stay. It was Geneva (OH) State Park.
NOTE: CAMPGROUND ANOMALY > We came across what appeared to be a club campout/rally for Geo Metro automobiles! They were gone the next morning. I wanted to get a picture for Sally. We counted eight Metros at two campsites.
We drove through rain for most of the day, but the sun appeared as we neared Cleveland. Our spirits were lifted as we felt like we'd made good progress in our travels today, about 297 miles.
The terrain flattened somewhat as we left West Virginia and rolled into Ohio. Southern Ohio is beautiful, with rolling green hills and farms.
Traffic increased as we rolled through Canton, Akron, and through the southeastern edge of Cleveland.
