We are on our way home to Michigan. Boy was traveling was hard on this trip.....lots of construction,

 more trucks traveling than cars,


and the most unusual thing was all the tire rubber on the roads....guess from all the retreads...I have never seen so much tire debris on the roads. 



We got on the road this morning at about 12:45pm and drove until almost 3:00pm in the afternoon. I wanted to stop sooner but couldn't talk Mike into it. He wanted to be less than 5 hours home before we stopped and got a motel.

It was a Comfort Inn Motel and we usually stay in Comfort Inns when we travel. This one is an older one but it was really clean. It did spook us out that no one else was staying here. Mike said it sounds like the Bate's Motel...and we are in room 113.

 The desk girl says people usually don't check in until 6:00pm or later. It doesn't have a pool or hot tub, but she gave us a Hot Tub room for the same price as the regular room with a King size bed. ($79.00...senior rate) It has a fridge, a microwave, and a brand new giant TV.
It is now 7:30pm and we heard someone go into the room next door...sooooo we aren't the only ones here now.
