Geneva, OH June 4-8

We camped at Kenisee Grand River Campground, a huge place advertising 4 Lakes. The lakes were more like ponds (and very strange colored ponds at that—chemicals made the water green). Our site was sloped, but Ray did a great job leveling the trailer.




We took a drive to Ashtabula, visiting the longest wooden covered bridge in America and the Ashtabula Harbor. What a coal moving operation!




The next day we visited Geneva State Park where Ray tried out the bicycle that Glo loaned to him. He rode parallel to Lake Erie, which was quite rough and very ocean-like





That night there was a tornado warning for our area and our trailer shook with the wind. A tornado actually touched down about 35 miles away. It made us wonder—where would we go if a tornado hit? We have no basement and no interior walls…

Our further sightseeing attempts were thwarted as none of the attractions were open (next time we’ll call), but Ray cycled on a bike path we found and I read and we both had a chance to relax. We did see some odd sights as we drove along the countryside.
