On the road again! Early Thursday morning (less than 24 hours from
now) my son Elliot and I will be taking the red MGA (with black
trailer in tow) heading east from Naperville, IL. The first day
Thursday only) we will be traveling with a friend in a white MGA. We
have a short morning stop in the sticks off US-30 near Hanna, IN, to
visit my brother. We will be in Bowling Green, OH, momentarily in
early afternoon at Snook's Dream Cars - http://snooksdreamcars.com
By early evening we will be in a campground in eastern Ohio at OH 303
and OH-57, just southwest of Cleveland.
Friday we will be high-tailing it solo heading east on I-80 to arrive
in Pocono Manor, PA, hopefully around 3 pm. We will be grounded
there from Friday evening to Sunday morning for the MG Drive In
festivities. - http://www.mgdriversclub.com/upcoming/drivein11.html
Sunday we will be expressing it up I-380 and I-81 to Syracuse, NY,
then west on I-90. By mid afternoon we will be pitching tent at
Niagara Falls Campground (Good Sam Park) -

We intend to spend the rest of the day at the Falls, then back to the
campground late night.
Monday morning we expect to spend a little time on the Canadian side
of the Falls, then head west on the QEW, C-2. C-403, C-401, arriving
London, Ontario, by mid afternoon, checking into London/401 KOA. -

Elliot visits a friend in London while I have time to kill. Anyone
in the neighborhood?
Tuesday we head home via C-401 to Windsor/Detroit, then likely
express on I-94 west through Michigan (unless something interesting
can distract us), around the lake through Indiana and back into
Illinois. We expect to be back home by Tuesday evening.
With a few side trips and a bit of run-around this might make about
2000 miles in 6 days. I should be able to check e-mail and BBS
during the trip, likely late night daily. Otherwise keep the
messages short for a while. See you on the road.
