We landed at a beautiful park near Cleveland called Punderson Lake State Park. On Monday evening we set up camp, walked around the campground a bit and took in the "beach" -- a little stretch of the lakefront with some sand. On Tuesday we took a nice rowboat ride around the lake and enjoyed the low humidity and gorgeous weather we've been hoping for since we left Virginia a couple of weeks ago. The park has a really nice campground, lots of hiking trails, a marina to rent boats, great fishing, and a beautiful manor house. The lake has lots of minnows, lily pads, thousands of dragonflies and a few blue herons.
On Tuesday evening, we met our camping neighbors, Don and Diane, and had a great time chatting with them over a raging fire and some giant marshmallows. Yum! Don and Diane are from Cleveland and like to camp at Punderson Lake every year, though they also visit the other nearby parks as well. What a great find this campground has been!
Evidently, the manor house and the lake have quite a bit of interesting history...several drownings have occurred and there have been lots of ghost sightings in the house over the years. Who knew?
