Pancakes for breakfast with NH maple syrup! It's partly sunny and we got ready to go fishing on Dock Lake. Right now getting ready to fish for us is like the "travelling follies". We have all of our sporting gear (golf clubs, bike helmets, fishing poles, boxes of lures and fly's, walking sticks... well you get the idea...) on top of our inflatable boat. Sooo when we want to fish we have to unload it all (no easy task). We have decided we definitely need a car top carrier (next stop a Thule dealer). Got the boat in the water. It was a nice lake and bigger than it looked. We packed our lunch and spent several hours floating in the peace and quiet. There were several channels off the lake for canoeing but didn't look big enough for the Fold Cat. I had a couple of bites, but to be honest I was so shocked I didn't get it hooked! Of course we had showers, but we enjoyed ourselves.
Got back to camp, sat outside and relaxed and talked about the day. We had lots of people go by and compliment us on the "camper". Started to get ready to move on tomorrow.

Next stop Indiana
First we have to say that we loved the Ohio State Parks and the state itself. Highly recommend if you are camping in Ohio stay in the state parks.
We left Ohio and "the bugs" and had a nice drive through country roads on Rte 6 W. Lunch was wonderful homemade apple bread which we bought yesterday at a farm stand. Continuing down Rte 6 and then Rte 9 S to Chain O Lakes State Park in Albion, Indiana. This is located just a little north of Ft. Wayne. Checked into the campground after "emptying" our pockets at the reservation stop. There seems to be a fee for everything here and the sites are not very level. A big difference from Ohio.
The park does offer a lot to do. We went for a bike ride to check the place out. The park is hilly and it was a good workout. We checked out the boat launch for tomorrow and saw some deer as we rode down the road. The park has 3 natural lakes and the Fox River connects the other 7 lakes as well as a 44 acre lake that is within it's boundaries. Hiking, canoeing, swimming, and fishing are easily accessable.
It was a beautiful night and we are sitting under the awning, on our rug, in our chairs and this is what it's all about!
