Now this is more like it!

June 6: Well we left Indiana without any tears and drove on to Ohio. I dont think I had ever been in Ohio before but traveling and the weather were both great. Our next stop on our way to Maine was at a campground in Geneva on the Lake. This campground was across the street from lake Erie which looked more like an ocean than a lake. There was some haze so the view was shortened a bit but beautiful. Traveling through Cleveland which is about 40 minutes away we came on what appeared to be a motorcycle off the road with multiple first responders flying by us and parking on and near the road as we approached making for a bit of a white knuckle drive as cars braked and swerved to give them room. Eyes straight ahead aiming where I wanted to go we made it through that unscathed. That said Diesel started howling so we made a random exit into what turned out to be a neighborhood with narrow streets and no big parking areas. About the time my anxiety was peaking we did find a supermarket parking lot on our side of the road with not only a wide enough entrance to swing but what looked like an easy exit. Getting into a parking lot without a planned and apparent exit can result in backing out into traffic in this case during rush hour. Not a good thing. And curbs adjacent to entrances without enough room to drive past and swing wide is an issue. Always looking to be sure a car isn’t exiting as you enter is a must or that long thing behind you will be bounced off or up over a curb as the wheels are way back there. Once again a dog emergency solved without damages and we found a way back onto I-90.

The campground was easy to find. Plenty of room to park and register. There was actually someone to greet us and they were prepared for us with a map with our site #. The site was a pull through with plenty of space to park and space between sites. This campground had seasonal sites but the rows assigned to travelers were only for transients so it didnt feel like we were dropping in to someone’s home. The campground grounds and amenities were spotless and plentiful. We had an issue with the 110V outlet on our pedestal and a faulty GFI outlet that kept tripping. I emailed the campground staff who responded immediately and had someone come out and replace it very quickly. Such a change from our last experience.

We thought about going to see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but being pretty tired the next day we went out for lunch, explored a bit and walked around Lake Erie on a State Park trail. Relaxed with cold beverages and read later and had a great home cooked meal. Very nice two night stay. I will say that I think we were starting to see the Canadian wildfire smoke that at the time we thought was just fog or haze on the lake but not enough to bother.

More great weather too! Jo is now a good weather charmed person.
