Monday April 14
The drive today was to Findley State Park, and I have
no notes at all to remind me of how it went.
The park was very nice, like all Ohio State Parks. There was no one at
the gate but I’d learned online that we needed to fill our fresh water tank
there because the water at the dump station was shut off. It turned out (later)
that was not true, and in fact, the full hookup sites which we didn’t reserve
had working water at their sites.
Our site was just a trifle too short to park the
motorhome and Jeep in. I knew that, and it typically isn’t a problem because we
get a windshield tag for the Jeep and can park it in overflow parking. But with
no one in the office, we’d have to park it tagless. The campground host I spoke
to said that there wouldn’t be anyone at the office that day, but we could park
our Jeep in the Visitor Center parking lot and no one would tow it. So we
did.
It was in sight of the Motorhome
but not as close as I’d like it.
After we were settled, Molly and I went for a long
jog. We ended up on the Storybook Trail which ran together with the Buckeye
Trail for a while. It was a very nice trail, mostly small gravel with only a
few muddy spots.
The Lorax!
We didn’t see much, but we got some jogging in. Before
that we jogged through the campground loop and ended up at the lake. Probably
on the same trail, just at another end. I don’t know exactly—I find the whole place
and especially the map very confusing.
(I’d picked up campground and trail maps at the office—best I can tell,
they were completely out of scale and missing in important details.)
