Ohio
About 240 miles today and we are now in Ohio.
We
have travelled all day on interstate 80.
|
|
| A small section of the 240 miles travelled today |
Tonight we are staying at a service area on the
turnpike. (Turnpike is the name for a toll road.) You pay $15
to
a machine and hook your RV to power.
|
|
| All hooked up for the night. We even have neighbours. |
There’s parking for the truckers in a different
area and the facilities
here include a small
24hr McDonalds, a Starbucks, café, Pizzeria,
information centre, gift store and of course
toilets.
Makes the ‘rest areas’ in NZ look
somewhat pathetic really.
The service area is duplicated by another one on the opposite
side of
the turnpike for traffic going the other way!
If you didn’t
know better you would think that
Ohio so far was covered in trees. From the
road we've travelled all you can see are
tree
tops but underneath are suburban
areas and pockets of housing.
I have found it really surprising at how
houses are built right under really big trees.
Whole
neighbourhoods are like this.
Living in the forest.
The modern housing I’ve seen as we’ve
travelled
is rather different. Real ‘tiki taki’
houses, all built practically on top of each
other and all looking
the same.
