Celina, OH to Wapakoneta, OH

We had a great time here at the Eastern Gypsy Journal Gathering at the Mercer County Fairgrounds. Today we’re heading over to Lakewood Village RV Resort at Wapakoneta, OH. Since Wapakoneta is only about 24 miles east of here, we’re not in any hurry to get on the road.

This morning before we started getting ready to leave Celina, we went for a walk to find Nick & Terry Russell to tell them how much we enjoyed our first Gypsy Gathering. We took Tinker with us & he enjoyed the walk & getting to see (smell) parts of the fairgrounds he hadn’t been in. We located Nick & Terry at the Hospitality Room & told them how much we had enjoyed the Gathering & what a terrific job they had done. We had hoped to pick up a bundle of the current Gypsy Journal paper to hand out at the campgrounds that we would be going to, but Nick & Terry had given out all of their extra copies.

About 10:30 we started getting the RV ready to leave & pulled out of our spot about noon. We had to stop at the dump station & dump our tanks before leaving the fairgrounds. We decided since we only had about 24 miles to our next destination, that Mike would drive the RV & I would drive the Vue.

We stopped at Kroger's at St. Mary's for gas & groceries. The price for gas at Kroger's was $3.77. We filled the tanks on both vehicles & got $.10 a gallon off on $136 worth of gas. We have a Kroger customer card & we get credit for our purchases, which gives us a discount on our gas purchases at a Kroger gas station. We then pulled over into the parking lot & ate lunch. Then I went grocery shopping in Kroger. Mike hooked up the Vue to the RV while I was in shopping. We checked the gas price when we left & it had gone up $.20 in an hour and a half - $3.97! We actually got gas at the right time for a change.

We got in here at Lakewood Village a little after 3 pm. We got a site this time near the clubhouse facing one of the lakes, so we have a better view than the one we had when we were here in August.
