It was a beautiful day for a drive and light traffic all the way. There was only one car ahead of us in the Nexus line and the conversation, when we drove up, went like this:
- Anything to declare?
- We each bought a bottle at the Duty Free.
- Have a good day.
- Thank you sir!

The fall colours have just started on this (south) side of Lake Erie. Should be much better on our return.
Had a moment of nostalgia when we stopped at the West Virginia Welcome Center.
But, the wimp was driving up and down the hill. At Trillium Hill I cut the grass going sideways on a slope like that!
-------------------------------------------
We encountered no driving issues on the trip, but had trouble finding a motel that had rooms. Hadn't considered that a lot of them are full of folks who don't have anywhere to live right now.
We finally found a motel that had two rooms left. The lady at registration said that quite a few rooms are filled with construction workers who are cleaning up after the storm.
She lost five trees in her yard during the storm, but her house was spared.

The good news I guess, is that we are an hour closer to South Carolina than I expected. And as I write this, the Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye, with water, is having its desired result.
Stay well. We are.
