East Lake Harbor State Park

November 4th, 2015

We have been here at this park for a couple of days now. Nice and quiet. This morning when we got up we saw a guy across the road in the woods raking leaves, seems odd since it is a state park. Then we noticed he had a lot of deer hanging around him, so Jessie and I set out to see what the deal was. Turns out this guy has been coming here for over 20 years and he feeds the deer, the park employees told him the corn cobs were hard on the mowers so he would have to clean the area.....WHAT! That is the most absurd thing I have heard in a long time. Anyway he enjoys feeding the deer and they don't seem to mind it. They are still a little skittish but they don't run far from him. This old guy just likes to share some time with nature and this is how he does it.

Park is not crowded, maybe 10 people here, basically we have it all to ourselves and when we go down to the beach we also are pretty much alone. Across the water you can see the Peace Memorial tower. Water is calm as can be. Here are some pics to just enjoy rather than read. This is our last day here and we will head home after lunch. Been a great time visiting these 2 parks the last few days. Always enjoy being around the water.

This is our last venture for this season, time to put the motorhome into rest mode. Next year we start again!

Time to move to East Lake Harbor

November 2nd, 2015

We packed up this morning and came back to visit the beach for a while then head to East Harbor State Park. It also is first come first serve and hoping it doesn't have a lot of people. Not anticipating any since it is Monday.

Before we left we climbed to the top of the look out hill.

Lake Erie we return!

October 31st, 2015

We wanted to come back when things were much quieter  here at Maumee Bay so end of October first of November sounded right and the weather was cooperating. We arrived on Saturday afternoon, most of the campground is closed now and they do not take reservations so it is first come first serve. The camp host's are all gone and the camp check in is closed so we pay by self registration. It is discounted in the off season and only a couple loops are open. There are only a couple campers here but there is a deer hunting season on Monday so the camping is limited even more. We decided not to bring the car this time as we planned on just hanging out at the shoreline and not wander around.

So the routine is get up in the morning get motivated and we unplug and head down to the parking lot at the beach and just sit and enjoy the water in the privacy of our RV. Virtually no one is here except for a few sightseer's who stop, take a photo and move on. Its a wonderful day but a little chilly and the water is so calm that it is hard to imagine what it would look like angry as we have probably all seen pictures of the horrendous waves up here. No much more relaxing than just kicking back, have some coffee and enjoy the sights!

We are gonna spend a few days here and then head over to East Harbor State Park.
