Ventured out of town for the first time in quite a while. Picked up a green pin in Taylor, MI. Site has been open for 20 days! Check-ins for 2024-02-12 - Taylor, MI (#495) (First to check-in)

We did make it to Ashland, OH, today. Also ventured on down to Columbus, OH, too, because "Why not, while 'in the area' ?" Check-ins for 2023-12-29 - Ashland - Enterprise Pkwy, OH (#493) (First to check-in) - Columbus - W 3rd Ave, OH (#494)

First alert. Fair warning. In case anyone cares. - Ashland, OH Chances are I'll be traveling to the green pin at Ashland, OH, today - 'cause "Why not, nothing else going on".

Check-in to a charger in a country and the app will start showing you your unvisited, etc., for that country.

Blah, dreary day, so we decided to go drive through the country, and we ended up in Marshall, MI at the new charger. Check-ins for 2023-12-23 - Marshall - W Michigan Ave, MI (#492) (First to check-in)

Made a trip today to visit an Orvis store (none in Toledo, OH). Stopped at two unvisited supercharger sites while in the area. Check-ins for 2023-12-15 - Cleveland - Euclid Ave, OH (#490) - Shaker Heights, OH (#491)

@Bighorn , as of this morning (Wednesday, 12/13), I see that you have now cleared Wisconsin, also. I am amazed that no sites (green pins) have opened behind you in all those east of the Mississippi states you've cleared recently.

Managed to be in the same place at the same time as @Bighorn tonight at the supercharger site 3 miles from my home (Toledo - Central Ave.). Fortunately, he was passing through the area before my bedtime!

Stopped by for a look Thursday afternoon, 12/7/2023. Picture attached. Note the presence of a transformer, but no meter.

Took an excursion today up to Ann Arbor, MI, so we could procure a few items from Trader Joe's. Toledo has no Trader Joe's. We went "slightly" out of the way on the return trip back to Toledo. Probably added about 5 extra hours of travel time. At least the sun was shining. Hoping to get to...

Yes! Success at the new charger 3 miles from our house. Charged there this afternoon at about 4pm. Fence was removed at some point between 9am and 4pm.

Quick update: I went to charge at this new site. As of 9am this morning, 11/22/2023, the site shows active on the APP, it shows on the NAV in the car, I navigated to it and the car said PRECONDITIONING, the pedestals are lit, however - The fence is still up! There was no trivial way to open the...

First alert: Toledo, OH, Central Ave. Will visit today. How can I not? It's only 3 miles from our house.

Drove by this morning, Tuesday, Nov. 14. Fence still up. Everything inside fenced area is completely cleaned up / cleaned out.

Took a trip to Canada today to procure several cases of Lowenbrau beer for our Toledo area son. Said beer is not available anywhere around here. It was a good enough excuse to visit the couple of "close by" unvisited sites. The Canadian entry was reasonably speedy and uneventful. The U.S...

Drove by to get an up to date photo. Below photo from 10am Friday, 11/10, shows meter installed, but fence still up.

I couldn't resist the green pin on Jackson, MI, when I spotted it was open on my phone this morning. Didn't bother with a picture as there would have been nothing noteworthy in a picture from any angle. Check-ins for 2023-11-08 - Jackson, MI (#484) (First to check-in)

First alert: I'll be heading to Jackson, Michigan, for a first this morning.

Stopped by this Meijer in Maumee, OH, today to pick up a couple items while in the area. While heading to the V2 superchargers in the parking lot to plug in, I saw 4 Toledo Edison trucks all waiting by 6 newly installed charging spots. These 6 new spots/stanchions were closer to the Meijer...

Drove by this morning (Tuesday, Oct. 31). Workers present, digging at the far end. No transformer yet. Note the black bag covering a bundle of conduits on the right edge of the picture. This is probably where the transformer will be.

Picture below is from a drive-by this morning (Monday, 10/9). Workers present enclosing the inverter boxes.

This new site showed up just as I was leaving town. Still 10 hours left to share this first. Check-ins for 2023-09-22 - Rossford, OH (#483) (First to check-in)

The Sandusky River flows into Sandusky Bay on Lake Erie near Sandusky, Ohio. Upper Sandusky, Ohio, is located near the headwaters of the Sandusky River.

Drove by to check on progress. Picture below from 30 minutes ago. No workers present. Seems to have been none since @Triangles report/picture of a week ago.

Returned from urgent trip to Colorado. Daughter's father-in-law doing better, son-in-law returned to Colorado, and we headed back to Toledo. Picked up a few new ones that were "on the way" home. Check-ins for 2023-09-11 - Oakley, KS (#479) Check-ins for 2023-09-12 - Springfield - W Jefferson...

Congratulations @E-GAL on hitting 500 yesterday in Custer.

Our daughter called and requested urgent help in Colorado. Her husband had to rush off to Illinois because his father is in critical condition in the hospital. We packed in two hours and hit the road west. Only one new charger on an uneventful trip. Check-ins for 2023-08-31 - Omaha, NE (#478)

We took a 6 hour day trip down to near Columbus, OH, and back to Toledo. Hit two new chargers. Stopped at several retail places, one being one of my wife's favorite garden centers. AND, shared a first with @Thinkje (Upper Sandusky, OH). Unfortunately we missed being there at the same time by a...

I, too, will be heading to Upper Sandusky in a little while. Because, well, won't be a good day to work in the yard, don't want to work on any tasks inside particularly, and well WHY NOT take a short day trip.

As of noon, still no meter by transformer.

Just drove by. No noticeable changes from @Triangles Tuesday pictures.

From @Triangles pictures, and given my having been there many times, I'd say the site appears to match the red rectangle. One can see the AAA auto repair facility in the picture.

The Littleton, CO, service center was able to work my car into their schedule early. The folks there were most accommodating! The A/C compressor was replaced - nice $1,400 invoice. Nice to have a working car again. Left Colorado Monday and returned to Toledo, OH, on Wednesday (today)...

I'm still in Colorado, heading back to Toledo next week. I'll take a look and advise when back in town.

This Meijer is a few miles from our house. This is one of the grocery stores we visit at least once a week. I, too, will keep an eye on this site.

We traveled to Colorado from Toledo, right out I-80 with no venturing off. Did pick up 3 new sites on the way. Also visited the service center in Council Bluffs. After charging in Bettendorf, IA, in 90 degree heat, the car started "brapping" like a whoopie cushion every several minutes. The...

Ho-hum trip to Battle Creek and back. Hit the green pin in Battle Creek, stopped to view the Jackson, MI, site (no change - still no transformer). Highlight was stopping at Jackson Coney Island for Coney Dogs, fried cheese sticks, and fried mushrooms - all better than Toledo's offerings...

First alert, on my way to Battle Creek.

Stopped by to check on the Jackson site progress. Tesla white control/inverter boxes are now enclosed. No transformer - just conduits with loose wires poking from ground.

@GHammer and @Thinkje and @theflyer : Too late to go back for a potential green pin? "Shows as open now on Tesla’s Supercharger map."-latest posting https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/supercharger-lincoln-ne-610-w-o-st.256675/page-7#post-7672524

It seemed like it would be a dreary day, so we took a day trip to the Cincinnati area via Columbus, OH. We stopped at 4 new to me superchargers (each at a Meijer store). We saw nothing worth writing home about. Check-ins for 2023-06-12 - Columbus - Hilliard Rome Rd, OH (#465) - Beavercreek, OH...

Hard to spoof a gps checkin, I imagine. I'm sure its not just me who is enjoying watching you clear countries.

For what it's worth, each time we have charged here, we have walked to one of the restaurants around the Meijer periphery and enjoyed the slower charge speeds which gave us more time to eat before worrying about moving the car. However, it's hard to imagine that's the case for nearly everyone.

We needed an excuse for a road trip of some sort, so we drove to Bad Axe, MI, and back with stops at some garden centers. We saw nothing exceptional. Check-ins for 2023-05-28 - Bad Axe, MI (#464)

Green pin in Guin, AL, too. :)

Drove out to the two new sites on the Ohio Toll Road near West Unity, OH, this morning. @theflyer and I happen to be there at the same time (unplanned meet up) Check-ins for 2023-05-25 - West Unity - Indian Meadow Service Plaza, OH (#462) (First to check-in) - West Unity - Tiffin River Service...

Just proof-read my prior post. Make that "Still no transformer in sight."

I checked the eastbound site on my way by yesterday evening, 4/18/2023. Still no transfer in sight. Had I taken a picture, it would have looked identical to the one posted above by @Crew Dragon on March 22.
