Awake: 6:45am Temp 52 sleep 6+40 overcast overnight @ Nicktown
Melissa calls early to wish us a Bon Voyage. We call our nearest
neighbors, Chuck & Shirley & say our goodbyes for now. Kathy also calls a
little farther away neighbor, Barry & Bonnie Lou; they are not available
so she leaves a message, wishing them happy travels on their upcoming trip
and offering our goodbyes for a time.
Drive out of our Nicktown circular drive @ 9:55am. On our way out of town,
we see & wave to John, then Dave, then Al & Donna.
On Interstate 79 northbound, we get the motorhome washed by a huge dark
cloud for a good 20 min. Other than that, today’s travel to Navarre, Ohio
was relatively smooth with short downpours here & there. 213.6 miles &
approximately 4.5 hrs….with (2) stops, 1st @ a rest stop for an overall
check on all the equipment (it’s been 5.5 months since we’ve traveled)
which check good, & the 2nd was due to road construction.
We arrived @ the Baylor Beach Park in Navarre @ 3:00pm greeted by sunshine
& mostly blue skies.
After the Suzuki is detached from our motorhome & slides extended, we take
a 30 min walk around the park. This Baylor Beach hangout is privately
owned with a (2) acre water park lake & a one acre lake with paddleboats.
There is swimming, Funyaks & Aquabikes; 90' Tube of terror slide; 3 small
kiddie slides; a log roll; Buckets of water fun; Water fountains & 1 meter
& 3 meter diving boards. Also Miniature golf, volleyball, basketball,
horseshoes & 5 picnic shelters + a concession stand. Also there are 4
shelters & a large pavilion plus 60 camping sites. We’ve stayed here when
we were the only ones in the park; other times it was so busy & occupied,
a reservation was required & those lakes were overflowing with families.
6:15 dinner: Pork chops, baked potato, broccoli & cauliflower in cheese
sauce, spinach salad & toast.
After dinner, I call my Aunt Aggie to make tentative plans for a visit
tomorrow. I also call my cousins Roger & Michelle.
