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.
