Day One: Saturday, June 18, 2011

We planned to leave Syracuse by 9 a.m. but got our usual late start and finally entered the Thruway heading west at 10:19.  A stop at the first Tim Hortons just west of Rochester was required and then it was back on the road until we hit Erie PA where we gassed up (well, actually topped off the tank - we were averaging about 45mpg) and grabbed a quick lunch at Wendys.  Traffic picked up around Cleveland and then we were nearly all alone until arriving in South Bend.


Dinner was at a Ponderosa up the street from our super cheap motel, America's Best Value Inn on 933 South.  As Ponderosa's go, this one was very clean, the staff was incredibly friendly and efficient, and the food was really quite good.  The 'Inn' was okay, reasonably clean and definitely quite.  The bed very comfortable, or maybe it was that I was too exhausted to care.
