Medina, OH to Goshen, IN 5/27/14

Tuesday, Day 25 of Our Summer Trip

We got up early this morning to call the Montrose Ford service department to see if the replacement sensor in our DEF tank had come in.  It had, so we got ready and took our truck to the repair shop.  Mom and one of my sisters met us at the shop and we all went to breakfast while the truck was being fixed.  That was a much more pleasant way to spend the time waiting, rather than sitting in the waiting room.  It was a great breakfast  and we were glad to be able to spend a little more time with family.  Bumble enjoyed it, too.

When we got back to Montrose Ford, the job had been finished.  It was so nice of them to work us into their busy schedule so that we could get back on the road at the time we had planned.  We took the truck back to the campground, finished packing and prepared to leave for the next leg of our trip.  We plan to be in Canada by June 4th.  Here we are, all hooked up and ready to roll.

Bumble, the bee, is very excited to go with us on our adventure.  See, there she is, in the window, checking to see where we will go next.

Mom and my sister came to the campground to give us a proper send off.  We will miss everyone.  We don’t get to see the family often, but hopefully this blog will help us stay in touch with our family and friends while we are gone.

So, we are on our way.  We made reservations to stay at the Elkhart County 4-H Fairgrounds in Goshen, IN tonight, when we were at Escapade earlier this month, so we could take the trailer for service tomorrow.  This is our campsite tonight.  We are in a different area of the fairgrounds  from where we were during Escapade a little over a week ago.  It is still wet, but it seems to be much more solid ground than the infield of the racetrack.

Tomorrow, we find out what needs to be done to fix the trailer.
