DAY-55 Friday

We got up and headed out by 8:30. We started out on 75 South and we are going to put some miles on before breakfast and coffee. Ya, before coffee! We stopped at a Shell for gas and it has a McDonald's in it. So while having breakfast I fired up the netbook and looked at the radar. The edge of the thunder storms are still in London, Ontario stretching past Buffalo, NY. Humm, I guess we'll stop in Bay City, MI and move funds so we don't need to rely on my good looks. (We'd most likely would starve). Figuring this would give the storms a chance to move further east.

We started back down 75 South and hear on the CB there is a long, long back up. There was a fatal car accident in a work zone. They were talking about jumping off and heading East to Rt 13 and following it around. So we asked about the exit we were coming up to and crackling over the CB yup I'm getting off there and following 13 South. We saw a Pepsi truck getting off and asked if he had his radio on yes. We told him we were the two wheeler coming up behind him. We talked he ask were we have been and were we where going. As luck has it, the detour brought us two blocks a way from the Bank. We were in and out a lot quicker than I thought it would take. 13 was slow going, it runs right through Bay City. We make it back to 75 and we made it around the back up.

We hit 475 to 69 East, we stopped to fill up in Port Huron. Got gas and talked with a few people and on to Niagara. We go over the bridge and wait in line for customs. We get in and follow 402 until about 24 km/ 14 miles to you before London. We go down this back road in search for the 50s Dinner. About two miles down the road we find it. Dirt parking lot and a building we almost no windows and looks like a 'Pickers' place to stop. We go in and it is cute with 50s memorabilia all over. There is also a consignment shop inside. We eat and we had stayed at a KOA in MI, and had the pamphlet. So we call the KOA in Niagara. They want $70 for a tent site with OUT electricity or water. For a patch of grass and a bathroom to use. You've got to be kidding me. We called the London KOA they were $30 for the night. So we stayed in London. There Internet has been in and out all day unable to get a post out.
