Monday, 24 July – Timber Ridge CG, Amherst, OH 44001

Crossed the state line into Ohio within the first 20 minutes on the road and got the photo.  Avoided the interstate, it was a turnpike which usually equates with tolls.  Waited to find some cheap diesel and got a full load at $2.399/G – not bad!  Then a stop at Walmart, needed a new bulb for the front right driving light and other food stuff.  Yay, we are now in a State where you can buy spirits at Walmart!!  Also, I noticed the price for a dozen extra large white eggs today - $0.46!!

Temperature stayed down around 23C all day today, actually finding it a bit chilly!  Rain held off although the sky was grey.  Sun graced us with it’s presence after 6 pm.

Cleveland in the distance
We wanted to get past Cleveland before we joined the shores of Lake Erie, which we did and eventually arrived at Timber Ridge CG, around 2.30 pm for the night.  Got allocated a huge park next door to another Monaco Coach, his is a Dynasty, a 2001 but in very good condition.  He’s had it since 2003 and done 190,000 miles.  

It’s a nice park, WIFI hot spot only at the office, good cell coverage, the laundry prices are standard - $1.50/wash and $1.25/dry.  They have an indoor swimming pool, still with recliners though?  Dipped my toe in and it appeared heated, it was very warm, much more than just tepid.  There is an adults lounge and a huge pavilion with picnic tables where they hold their weekend functions.  We shot some hoops while we were waiting for the laundry to dry.


Took our old bread over to the lake to feed the fish, when I had a look from the jetty earlier, they gathered expectantly – American version of spotties and thinner fish with green tails.  The water was really clear for a pond.
