First full day on the road


I made 627 miles today but it took me 16 hours to do this.  Even though I was on the road at 6:30 I stopped shortly after getting going for coffee at Mc Donald’s then several stops to check the trailer, stretch my legs etc.

In Ashland, Wisconsin they have “The Old Firehouse & Police Museum” that would have been interesting to see but they were closed so I had to settle for a picture of the building. Next visit maybe. 

I need to do another adjustment on the trailer hitch because it is still not quite level but the weather is not all that great so it will wait until tomorrow.

I made it to mid state Minnesota before I needed to stop for fuel.  1075 miles on that tank, I had a couple hundred miles on it before I left home.  I have been averaging about 12 mpg.  Not too bad considering the load.

Tonight my camp spot is going to be a rest area somewhere in Minnesota.
