| KOA site in Thompson, Ohio |
277 miles Sunny but windy, first day to put on long pants. Began having to figure out the state tolling systems and which lane we were supposed to be in.
Our list suggested we stop at Old Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts but we opted for Sauder Village in Archbold, OH which was a living history destination. The site had a small pioneer village, an Indian community, petting farm, various artisans, hands on activities, a buggy ride and train a ride. After our visit and coffee break, we pushed on to our campsite, down a remote dirt road to a KOA in Thompson.

Do you know what this tool is? You would find it in a pioneer bedroom.The mattress was held to the frame by ropes which needed to be tightened ever three or four days, This "key" pulled the ropes tight. "Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite." (Hopefully, your bed ropes were tight and the bed bugs from the hay were gone away.)
