The campground called Vacation Station was very nice with concrete pads and patios and paved roads. It was a very busy weekend as the summer season started winding down. Our site was nice and long so there was plenty of room for the camper and the truck.
After our few days at Ludington, we departed and drove to Kalamazoo for a week's stay at Markin Glen County Park where we spent time last year. Pat's brother Mike and his wife Joanne followed us from Ludington and they camped next door to us. Even though the weather was still hot, we had a campfire and enjoyed each other's company for the week.
From Kalamazoo, we headed to Ohio so that we could meet my sister and husband for dinner. We stayed at a campground close to the Ohio Turnpike in Milan, Ohio. It was an OK place for a couple of days with the highlight being Sunday dinner with Valerie and Jim at Oberlin. This is a picture of our campsite:
From Milan, we traveled south in Ohio to the Thousand Trails RV Park in Wilmington, Ohio (just north of Cincinnati). This is a very peaceful park and we wish we could have stayed longer. We will certainly keep it in mind for the future. Across the road was a pasture with cows which Duke and Abby enjoyed visiting. Of course, the pups were on their leashes and the cows were on the other side of a fence, but our two kids had to let their feelings known by barking at the cows.
From Wilmington we headed back to Diamond Caverns in Park City, KY. Our original plan was to stay a few days and then continue south to Texas. However, some personal issues came up so we have stayed and will be here until October when we will go back to Indiana to see our doctors for our annual exams. While at Park City, we have had visits from our daughter and our son. I spent a week with our daughter to take care of some personal business and was able to visit my former co-workers at Guthrie/Mayes Public Relations. The only tourist type thing we have done was to go on a tour of the Corvette plant in Bowling Green, KY. That was interesting to see the actual production and we were lucky to be able to see it. The plant tours are now closed while they retool for the 2014 model. Unfortunately no cameras are allowed so we couldn't take any pictures. Our campsite is very nice with shade all day and we have enjoyed sitting outside now that the temperatures are more moderate.
I continue to read my Kindle and have read the Fifty Shades of Grey series, M is for Malice by Sue Grafton, The Callahans (a family saga) by Gordon Ryan, and a couple of light romantic/mysteries by M.J. Pullen.
That's all for now.
EASY LIVING!!
