I usually would've left by 7 am local time. But had to do a later start as the car rental company didn't open until 9 am. By the time I hit the road on my new ride, a silver Nissan Altima, it was half past 9.
We were given the opportunity to experience another weather pattern - high winds. All the way from Cincinnati, OH to Buffalo, NY, the winds were extremely strong. So much so that every time we took a break, we could barely spend few minutes out - had to get back into the comfort of the car.
I had to drive through some shady spots in Toledo, OH before entering Michigan. I quickly got out and back on the freeway and went through the first road toll - Ohio turnpike and subsequently in NY to drive in I-90E.
I didn't realize Pennsylvania calls itself as the "Commonwealth of Pennsylvania". One of the most amusing road signs I saw was in PA - it said "Bridge ices before the roads". A wonderful observation for the motorists who will have to make their judgments based on that critical scientific observation.
The ride today was uneventful - just going through one state after the other. There are a handful of pictures from today below. In a PA rest area, we ran into a two lovely samoyed dogs. Interestingly, when we did a DNA test on Apollo, he was found to have traces of samoyed in him. I didn't believe it. He is clearly a lab / beagle / basenji mix. Seeing the two beautiful samoyed dogs only confirmed that.
