Our original plan was to stay in Buckeye Lake until Monday and then head home but when Phyllis told us that she would be heading back to Baltimore on Sunday we changed our plans accordingly. It's always nice to travel on a Sunday when the traffic is lighter especially through large cities such as Columbus, OH and Indianapolis, IN.
We made it through Columbus (AKA - Rabbit Trap, OH) by 9:30 am and through Indy a little after 1:00 pm with the through city traffic very light. This will get us home a day earlier but that is okay as we will soon be getting everything ready for our longest trailer trip of this summer.
Phyllis gave Columbus its nickname or "Rabbit Trap" because on one of her first trips to Maryland driving the hand-me-down VW Rabbit she had car trouble in that area. She can tell the whole story but as I recall she had some help from strangers to get her problem fixed and back on the road. She eventually drove that Rabbit until it only had one gear and almost had to be pushed into the car lot for her trade in. The odometer quit not long after she received it and there was no way of knowing how many miles she put on it.
