DAY 2-- Tuesday am --trying to average 280 miles/day x 10 days...which leaves 4 days for sightseeing or detours around forest fires, Drove 270 miles yesterday, arriving at the Presque Isle Casino in PA (free camping) at 2 am. Won $400 on 50-cent slots before going to bed at 4 am. Note the 240 free games, followed by 50 more. Luck of the Irish? Surely, no skill required.
Tuesday 11pm -- Stopped after 240 miles, near the western end of the Ohio Turnpike, because the Turnpike Authority has thoughtfully provided 10 campsites for RVs, removed from the scores of semis with their idling diesel engines. I rarely pay for overnight stays, but I'm tired after getting caught in Cleveland rush-hour traffic. The modest cost, deducted ftom my gambling winnings, saves me the trouble of starting up a noisy generator. I can use my electric heater (Holy Toledo! It's cool here tonight) rather than burning propane.
