Family camp was a great weekend at Mt. Gilead State Park.

Windy Weekend at Maumee Bay

Saw an opening to get out for the weekend.  We packed up the pod and headed for Maumee Bay State Park.  We didn't know until Thursday where we might be headed.  The weekend was on the cool side and breezy, the fall colors were great.  We walked a tad over 4 1/2 miles around the park on Saturday.  On Sunday the wind had diminished and blue skies prevailed.  We were home early enough to mow the grass and check out the trick-or-treater's in Green Springs.

Labor Day Weekend

This year we moved our family camp out to Labor Day weekend.  Not a weekend we would normally consider but this was a group decision.  Went down to Dillon State Park near Zanesville, Ohio.  The weather was much warmer than we intended to use the SKpod for and we had two nights with temps in the 70's. I had one of these fans ready to go.  It is noisy and is a big drain on the batteries but it got us through one night.

Saturday and Sunday saw rain and Monday looked real good until we were heading out. Then more rain.  By the time we hit Granville, it was sunny and nice.  Go figure.

 Straw cures the muck.

Memorial Day Weekend Trip

Out at Wolf Creek Campground for the weekend.  What turnout!  Usually we have the place to ourselves but this weekend I'd say they were 75% full.  Fortunately we did not get the spot we preselected.  Turns out there was a group having a birthday party and out in the loop we had the "run the loud generators day and night" bunch.  So we were up front and with the 3 sites we had a lot of real estate to use for the dogs.

April is here!  We got out two weekends in a row.  East Harbor State Park is a great place to be early in the spring.  Very few campers and lots of space and beach to walk.  Even the dogs get to go on the beach this time of year.

This weekend we had my brother-in-law along with his teardrop and my son came in from Wisconsin with his tent.  Good times!

Maumee Bay State Park

Maumee Bay State Park was the destination this weekend. We hooked up with our camping buddies from the AEP ReCreation Lands weekend and we brought the dogs along too.

We had a cold and windy weekend with a little bit of rain and bits of sunshine. Overall not bad.

A familiar landmark up here.

We were here during America's biggest week in birding.

Spotted something in the grass.

Not very well camouflaged in the grass but there were plenty of deer around.
