Onward eastward

We left our friends' farm near Mt Gilead, Ohio on Thursday and started further east -- though we also headed north - destination Kenisee Lake RV Campground outside Jefferson, Ohio, in the far northeast corner of Ohio. It is a Thousand Trails campground, and a nice one - unlike most Thousand Trails, they assign a site for you that will fit your rig, which prevents small campers from taking large sites and leaving nothing available for later-arriving, larger rigs.

One last picture from Keith and Ruth Ann's - it was cloudy but not raining at the time that we were hooking up.

On the way toward Jefferson, we decided to stop at a Walmart and Sam's Club to stock up on groceries so we wouldn't have to go out from the campground. We parked a ways away from the Sam's Club, but noticed that they had a good price on diesel fuel, so we studied the access to the pumps and exit location, and decided we should be able to make it in and out safely. There was another motorhome fueling (gas rig) when we were checking things out, and a tractor (of a tractor-trailer) filling up too.

Filling up Gracie - we weren't desperate for fuel, it wasn't even down to 1/2, but we had checked prices in Pennsylvania (our next state) and they appeared to be significantly more expensive. You may notice, if you look past Carl, there is a tractor fueling in front of us. We asked him how much he was putting in, and he said that he had a 280 gallon tank (or a total of 280 gallons in his fuel tanks). He was having to restart the pump with additional cards to complete his fueling.

We thought that we were going to have to put our card in twice, but it turned out that the $100 limit appeared to fully fill the tank, so we just went with the one fill.

It was cloudy and a little rainy when we got to Kenisee Lake, but Friday cleared off and it was a lot prettier. I think that when Dwayne and I came to this area back in 2016, it was also rainy (and similar time of the year). You can see in the pictures from the blog post back then that the skies were very cloudy (https://trekincartwrights.blogspot.com/2016/09/ashtabula-county-ohio.html).
