Two days rest

The storm passed through London, Ontario yesterday while we were there. The winds were pretty severe; made me glad we decided not to travel any farther than the Flying J because we had thought we'd go all the way to the campground south of Hamilton. We never would have made it in time and would have been caught up in the weather. Thank goodness!

There was a lightning strike right on top of us and it knocked the gas pumps out at the gas station. They still didn't have them fixed by the time we left the next morning. While we were there we started thinking about the cost of fuel and concluded that, with the cost of exchange, the price of diesel fuel in Canada was just about the same as the U.S. Last year there was a benefit to us while we were in the states as our dollar was closer to par so the cheaper (relatively) fuel there did save us some money.

Today we travelled to Fifty Point Campground. It only took about an hour and a half. What a treat after the last few days. Our mileage since getting past the Rockies has been very good, about 9.5 miles per gallon. For a 40 foot diesel pusher that's not bad.

We'll stay here now until Tuesday when we have an appointment at Sicard RV to get some work done. Then, if all goes well, it's off to Ottawa. Perhaps we will be there by Wednesday? Who knows.
