Moving day was mostly uneventful. It was 202.5 miles (74,526.9 total) from Charlotte, MI to Greenville, OH. On one of the secondary roads, the heavily loaded truck below pulled out in front of us and managed to get up to maybe 45 mph about 10 minutes later. The real problem was that the truck was carrying the most foul smelling load. My guess was fresh hog manure. The smell nearly made our eyes water as I tried to maintain an adequate distance behind him (yes, the vent was set on recirculate). Fortunately, he headed in another direction after 10 or 20 miles and the air in the coach cleared after another 10 minutes with the dash A/C on high.
We stopped in Greenville because it was really the closest viable option to visit the U.S. Air Force museum in Dayton, OH ($70/night at the Dayton KOA did not appeal to us). We found that Greenville had a lot of small-town charm, so it was good that we planned on three nights (two full days) to explore the area. Joani made reservations for the KitchenAid Factory Tour for the following day.
We were camped at the Great Darke County Fair. They claimed to have more than 600 sites (200 with full hook-ups), but the squirrelly arrangement had us technically occupying two sites. One coach parked sideways to provide him easy access to utilities which put him across four or five sites. There were so few campers that they were not concerned with how we parked.
We fit nicely under a large maple tree providing us with a lot of shade. Sam was thrilled to have acres and acres to explore, including the very nice smelling horse barns.
The mare's name was Bean; the filly was named I Dream of Beany.
