TS8 Hop 3<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This hop was every bit as difficult as it sounds, given the long list of roads traveled. This was not <\/strong>my original plan. My first mistake was entering the wrong address for my destination in my GPS – the Comfort Inn in Fremont OH instead of Fremont IN. I did not realize my mistake until I got onto the Ohio Turnpike, which was a near-disaster: the EZ Pass lane had a gate <\/em>– the first gate I had ever encountered in hundreds of EZ Pass tolls. I nearly took it off when it came down in front of me – landing on my windshield. But no damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I got off, to find some lunch, the EZ Pass did not work at all. I had to back up (fortunately there was little traffic) and go to a booth with an attendant. Where I learned that the MA EZ Pass transponder does not work on the Ohio Turnpike! I didn’t have a ticket either, so I had to negotiate with the attendant what my toll would be. A very frustrating, annoying and thoroughly unpleasant experience. I resolved to not re-enter the turnpike after lunch, so I got to the destination via Toledo and a little piece of Michigan. Ooma hated it though it was only about 20 minutes longer than the turnpike route.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
