Neat cruise thru the middle of America. People are way friendly, even if they are hard to understand. I didn't realize there were so many turkeys around. I had never seen a wild turkey before this trip, now from Missouri to Virginia we saw them every day. Odd, thru the middle of America- a "fireworks" superstore and. "XXX" superstore at every major exit. Different fast food and grocery stores also. We have stayed at Edgar Evins State park by Knoxville, TN, Davy Crockett birthplace state park in eastern Tennessee. On to Virginia, thru to Pipestem state park in West Virginia, to Kanawha state park near Charleston, West Virginia. Then to Salt Run state park near Cambridge, Ohio. Today we are headed tho Marker state park on Lake Erie near Toledo, Ohio. We are going to loop up thru Michigan after. We had a tick infestation with Oliver, so we had to make a stop at Petsmart in Charleston for a dip and wash. Suzie has a thing for ticks, so it has been an interesting few days.
