Traveling to Fergus, Ontario

July 21

Day 1

 

 

It’s been two months since we traveled in the International Chapel, so I was looking forward to this road trip.

 

 

We were ready for the road by 9:15 a.m.

 

 

My portable office is ready: electric hookup for my computer (via converter and truck power outlet), cell phone, and coffee.

 

 

While crossing the Clarks Ferry Bridge near Harrisburg, we saw this white crane searching for its breakfast.

The Turkey Ranch – our favorite lunch stop when on Route 15 N

 

 

I would not like this person’s job. This was a very steep hill, which the photo does not properly show.

 

 

It was a beautiful day for traveling.

 

 

Our destination for the day was the chapel at Pembroke, New York. Cerwin’s first job was to help Chaplain David Smith clean the air conditioner.

 

 

I asked David to pose like he was going to spray water on Cerwin.

 

 

Earlier in the day we called retired chaplain Earl Carlson to tell him that we would be at the chapel by late afternoon. We were pleased that he came to see us and watch the air conditioner cleaning process.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before long we noticed an approaching storm.

 

 

 

 

Cerwin parked the chapel behind the permanent chapel. It was fun watching drivers do a double-take when seeing two chapels. As we were approaching the truck stop, a driver even called Chaplain David to ask if he was getting a new chapel.

 

 

 

 

Shortly after the air conditioner was installed the sky opened with pouring rain.

 

 

By bedtime the rain had stopped and we slept comfortably in the chapel living quarters (the one in which we were traveling).
