No internet at our space at this campsite so we have to go to the lodge to get online. We tried talking to Ma and Pa on skype for a little while but the connection was pretty bad; we’ll have to try again tomorrow. After getting cleaned up we took a drive around Ashtabula County. They have a large number of covered bridges here including the shortest (we didn't get to see that one today) and the longest in the country (we saw this one). It was a beautiful drive through country lanes, some paved, some not, passed some amazing homes. Afterwards we drove into Conneaut for lunch; Quiznos subs which we ate in Conneaut Township Park looking out over Lake Erie. Then we took the scenic drive along the coast of the lake all the way to Geneva-on-the-Lake. I think that maybe it would be nice to live along this route, looking out over the lake, but maybe only for the summer months. At a number of points along the drive there were magnificent houses, some even had turrets, with fantastic gardens. They weren’t pretentious in anyway though, just nice well loved homes.
After the scenic tour it was down to business with a trip to a RV supply store; we are still in the market for a ladder. Well not anymore we finally managed to find one that will work perfectly after Mike has bent it a little this way and that – hopefully without damaging it or himself. We also managed to get a number of other things that we have been looking for for a while so Mike is happy today. And I’m happy cos I saw a real live beaver this afternoon, at least I think it was a beaver. It was definitely a beaver!

Mike: I like Ohio! They have a great RV parts store.
