Today I took the 40-mile trip to Ohio. I arrived via Telegraph. I headed east on Alexis and passed over the AARR/CSX/NS lines and Stickney. I came up to Benore and there I saw a Menard's [[I never saw a Menard's here in Michigan so that was a first for me) and stopped at a Meijer.

The biggest headache, we had to backtrack through Monroe because I-75 south was a parking lot! Saw men working on the BP sign at exit 15. Around the I-275 interchange Meijer has a distribution center with an old sign! Because of the congestion we had to take M-125 until Samaria Road, turned west to enter Telegraph.

We passed three Pilot TC's. Again we drove by the North Monroe Exxon.
