Day 80 – Rob & I woke up around 5:30 a.m. and saw the beginnings of a great sunrise outside the bedroom window. I went back to sleep and Rob watched as the sunrise continued, deciding it was going to be worth the trip outside to take pictures. Luna & Gracie were thrilled because this meant an early breakfast. 48 degrees with light rain.

Day 79 – 42 degrees at 6:30 a.m.; heavy clouds, windy and some rain during the night. We checked the weather forecast & it predicted no more rain until early tomorrow morning, partly sunny and a high of 54 degrees. We decided to stick around and enjoy the campground which still had very few campers.
Day 78 – Oh my goodness, it’s the beginning of Week Twelve; we’ll be going home soon. Time to start planning another trip, LOL. The high yesterday was 69 degrees but it’s not going to reach 50 degrees today. Feeling at home being in the North once again. We had a quiet night & had the heat on for the first time in months; it was 47 degrees at 8 a.m. this morning that was as warm as it got during the day.
Day 77 – We got up at 6:30 a.m. & departed Hocking Hills State Park at 8:30. It had rained much of the night & the forecast was that it would rain most of today, too. The campground was almost empty as we left, 65 degrees. We drove North and East through Ohio; about half of the drive was on thruways, the other half on winding, two-lane highways. It was less hilly as we drove north, with beautiful Amish & Pennsylvania Dutch farms. I saw a barn with a large, colorful quilt painted on it. At that time we didn’t realize we’d see many more barns painted like that.
