Back from Georgetown, Ohio (southern) to retrieve Tinker from the mechanized world of Duncan's RV repair we headed to Sandusky, Ohio (northern) to find the acclaimed US fishing capital for Walleye when we found this lighthouse built in 1840ish on our way to the RV park on Catawba Is. The planned fishing trip was sidelined due to Lili's hotel bug
that ultimately ended in a visit to the Doc in the Box in Port Clinton where the famed Al Capone hung out in the armory where the Doc does business. Very interesting place in that locals drop a 40' plastic Walleye into the bay to celebrate the beginning of fishing season. After a day or two we were ready to heave off to New York where our goal was Niagara Falls.
We took the Maid of the Mist ride out to Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side and the American Falls on the US side. It was like a monsoon on the Mist boat. It was truly an international experience with many folks from all corners of the world viewing this tourist attraction while getting soaked to the core. Our blue plastic rain ponchos hardly kept us dry so the dampness was a welcome relief to the heat and closeness of 300 people crammed together.
We stayed on the US side to avoid the 30 min to 1 hour re-entry wait. It appears Canada had more commercial interests and the US more park type attractions so we enjoyed a nice lunch and view of this American Falls scene........and the journey continues
