Lake Erie
We are just booping along averaging about 30 miles an hour, but seeing every inch of Lake Erie's shoreline. Walking the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, we saw a bald eagle, warblers, and dozens of goslings. In Vermillion we took in the Great Lakes Shipping Museum where I was almost as bored as a class of students there on a field trip. Doug soaked it up; I listened to the weather radio on display. However, the highlight of the day was a stop at Conneaut, Ohio's White Turkey Drive-In which has to be the cleanest restaurant on the face of the earth. Honestly, it was so cool! The immaculate restrooms have little turkeys stenciled on the floors, and the whole place is retro '50s. It has been in business since 1952, managed by the same family the whole time. Put this place on your list. Later we camped right on the shore of Lake Erie where the wind blew so hard during the night, I feared for my life. Wimparoonie that I am, I bailed for the car while Doug slept peacefully in the tent.
