Days 9-10-11 and OOPS

On day 9 we drove from Cloverdale Indiana to Fargo Ohio, just north of Columbus. We drove through or around Indianapolis, Dayton and Columbus. Nothing much happening, we took pictures of the skylines and the state entry signs, etc. No internet service at this campground.

On day 10 we drove from Fargo Ohio to Jefferson Ohio. Not very far because at noon we pulled into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. It was very interesting and brought back lots of memories. It took us till 7 pm to complete our tour and then off to Jefferson for the night. Again no internet was available.

On day 11, Sunday, we took the short drive to Buffalo using Interstate 90 through the remainder of Ohio and the far western part of Pennsylvania. When we crossed into New York state I-90 becomes a toll road (New York Throughway) so we took old highway 20 to north Buffalo area. We passed miles and miles of grape vines and small wineries. We thought we were in the Napa Valley. We took a motel room for the night. We wanted to prepare to cross the border the next morning and update the blog. Although the motel advertised free Wi-Fi, it was down and the owners blamed it on their internet service provider. We are on a roll here.

Day 12 and we drive to U.S. customs and because I want to import the Green Weenie into Canada, we find out that U.S. border services require 72 business hours to check out the vehicle prior to exporting it. Thats the "OOPS". So here we are, staying at the KOA in Lewiston New York until noon on Thursday. The Lewiston area is just north of Niagara Falls and is a very beautiful area. We visited the Moose Lodge in Lewiston. It is a very nice lodge and is right on the Niagara River. What a great location.
