Threats of Rain

I started out the day with my rain gear on. It didn't rain. By Verona, Kentucky we were ready for a break so we stopped at a gas station and topped off the tanks. I used the opportunity to take off the gear.

The ride through Cincinnati was surprisingly easy. The stupid people must have stayed home today. Near Washington Court House, Ohio, the skies started looking very dark. We stopped at an interstate rest area and put the gear on. It didn't rain. We stopped for lunch at Grove City, just south of Columbus and went into the restaurant with the gear on. We were playing the odds that if we stayed dressed for rain, it wouldn't rain.

After lunch we drove through Columbus. All the crazies that weren't out in Cinci had driven to Columbus. In addition, road construction was ugly. After Columbus, we took US-23 (our first non-interstate since leaving Taylorsville Road). I think we hit every traffic light red from Columbus to the turn off at Waldo, about 35 miles.

We are at Ted and Wanda's tonight and head for Michigan tomorrow. Our only big cities tomorrow are Toledo, Ann Arbor, and Flint.
