Marblehead Light


Emerging from the coach this morning we found that these crazy bugs had blanketed everything! They are very strange. I hope they don't have them in Indiana where we are going next.

Took a ride to Marblehead, Ohio to see the Marblehead Lighthouse. It is the oldest lighthouse in continuous operation on the Great Lakes. It has guided sailors safely along the rocky shores of Marblehead Peninsula since 1822. We went through the museum and learned a lot about what the light keepers life was like back in the 1800's. It is windy and Lake Michigan looks like the ocean with pretty good size waves crashing against the rocks.

Left the lighthouse and took a tour of Sandusky. Not much there so we headed back to camp.

Back at camp I made a new cabbage and cucumber salad to go with our pork chops and sweet corn. Don't know where the corn came from because it isn't local but it was delish!
