Grand Lake St Marys



We arrived early afternoon on Saturday and Jay, Stella & Donna were waiting for us. Ted was playing golf with the men of Donna's family reunion.
We didn't like the site we had chosen online, so we asked and were allowed to move to another more level site. We got set up and proceeded to get caught up with Jay and Stella's news.

Sunday, while Ted and Donna went onto the last day of the reunion, Jay, Stella, Brenda and I went to the USAF Museum in Dayton. We really had a good time and even got to see the presidential and experimental air craft of the past.

Yesterday Danny, Susan, Ron, Karen and Sydney came over to the campgrounds on a pontoon boat and took us all out on the lake for a ride around the lake. This lake is phenomenal. It was dug by pick and shovel. It is about 3 miles wide and 8 or so miles long. It is 3ft to 9 ft deep. It took 8 years to complete in the 1830's. I'm told it is the reservoir for the Erie canal.

We had lupper together outside and they left about 4 or 4:30 and we all went in to rest for a while. We later got together at Ted and Donna's trailer, had a little to eat outside as it had cooled off nicely.
The weather is such that it is light until almost 10pm and cools off nicely in the evening. It is warn here during the day.

Jay and Stella left today to head back to Dickinson. Ted moved his rig to Jay's site. because they need to keep the rig here until Sunday. Ted had an unexpected death in the family. The funeral is Saturday in the Cleveland area. They can't find a decent place to take the trailer in that area, so they are driving up to Cleveland on Friday morning. We are very sorry for their loss.
We are leaving Friday for Howe, IN and they will meet us on Sunday.
A change in plans, but we will adapt, after all we are retired and in not in need of a strict schedule.

Ta ta for now
