Camped at Maumee State Park. One of the loveliest and our fav Ohio State Park by far. Happens to be close to the Biggest Week in American Birding. Warbler Migration at Magee Marsh Boardwalk.
For us, it is Birding and Photography and Glamping and all wrapped up into one obsession! We love the park and campgrounds. Private and spacious and with great biking trails and Lodge and Golf Course. Practically Heaven! Eze is with us, didn't hesitate to jump back into the Lark. In fact, the day before we left he sat by the Garage Door, knowing the Lark was in the drive and he was not going to stay behind. An interesting traveling cat he is.
We are anxious to get right to birding, so we park at the boardwalk. Gorgeous day, high 80 degrees and a chance for late storms. Oh yea, you don't get 80 degree days in NWestern Ohio in May without the threat of storms or worse, tornadoes. We just enjoy the day shooting and breaking for lunch and shooting some more. That is what is so good about your home on the road. If you want to nap, you nap. If you want to eat, you eat. Anything at all, whenever, wherever. And don't forget to feed the cat.
Wonderful day and growing into later afternoon when my phone alert goes off. Tornado "watch" in effect until 8PM. We have lived close enough to the Indiana, Southern Michigan border and Lake Erie to know about high winds. They come up fast, come up hard and sometimes blow you away. It is never good to be in a mobile home, with or without wheels. That's a given.

As the storm rolled in, we parked as close to the Lodge Building as possible, in case we would have to abandon Lark quickly. Just a bad spring storm, no evacuation, the cold front moved in and temps dropped 20 degrees. All of the out- of- staters were buying up all of the sweatshirts...we know better.
Wind chill and clouds and cool temps is what Northern Ohio is all about in May. And an occasional 80degree day!
A few Good Shots
