June 18
Mom took the day off. We
spent the morning packing, had a nice lunch with Megan and Matt at Bob
Evans. Off we went to Maumee Bay! The camp was full but this
is our first trip with reservations. In the office, I was advised
I had no reservation. Having the confirmation number, I suggested
I did. I asked them if the camp was full. They said yes.
I asked if every site was full. They said yes. I asked them
who was on site 155. They said no one. Then they realized
that something was amiss. They checked and checked and finally
found we were the ones to occupy the site. Although full, the camp
is quiet. Many bikers and few boaters. On the fly I chose
this site which is
a
wonderful site. The sites are far apart and quite private.
We walked and biked. Our butts hurt as we hadn't been biking for
some time. At 2200 we biked (in the dark) to the beach. This
was easy as there is a special bike path that keeps you off the road.
There we saw billions upon billions of mayflies. Swarms. We
saw a great fireworks show.
June 19
Got up at 0500 due to wind
pulling hard on the awning. Put that up and went back to bed to
finally get up at 1000. We took a long walk on the bike path.
Gracie had her first ride on a bicycle. She is too large for Mom's
front basket. Every move changes the dynamics of the front fork
and causes severe wobble. We had a great fire in cool
temperatures. The mayflies are out again. Millions and
billions of them.
June 20
With the new reservation system
you are supposed to be out by 1300 hours. We managed a nice bike
ride and a walk with the dogs. Fritz decided to sniff the lake.
She fell in. It was very obvious that she intended to fall in.
At any rate, she STINKS. We got home in good order.
See the site map for
details on the best sites (the ones next to water).
