COLUMBUS ZOO
We got a late start to our day, because when we tried to pay our last electric bill and turn in our gate card the front office the night before they were closed. So we had to wait until 9:00 am the following day. By the time we left the campground we were two hour behind schedule, but who cares about time when your retired.... right? We finally arrived at Columbus Zoo around 2:00 pm we stayed for about four hours and saw almost everything at the zoo. There was three exhibits I liked the most. One, was the Gorilla. When I was recording one stood up and ran/ charged the glass right in front of me, not once, but twice and I was luckily enough to get it one video both times. Second, was the python, it was huge an took forever to when in tried to move just a few inches. Third, was the Flying Fox (Pteropus Vampyrus). How do I saw this without being gross.... when they have bowel movement, they release their legs from and upside down hanging and release then return to the upside down position. Also, when they opened up their wingspan was just amazingly long (can reach up to 5 1/2 feet wide).
Instead of fighting the even rush of traffic leaving Columbus heading into Cincinnati crossing into Kentucky we hung out in the zoo parking lot and ate dinner in the RV before hitting the road. As we headed South to Kentucky we had tried to stop for the night at two rest stops in Ohio, but there was no open parking so we keep driving until we reached the Kentucky boarder. We spent the night at the Kentucky Welcome Center right as we left Cincinnati. Not sure why they call it a Welcome Center as there is no Welcome Center anymore. I looked at the sign for the hours of operation is said close, close, close (If anyone knows why it's closed let me know). We spent the night roughing it alongside semi trucks who left their engines on all night. When we woke up a WWE truck was parked next to us.
