THE FOOTNOTES

I hope you are enjoying the July 4th Holiday weekend. Charlie and I wanted do something fun and different today so we threw the bikes in the car (yes, in- not on) and drove to a bike path in Chardon.

(Some of you may know that Chardon is in the heart of the snow-belt and is infamous for being buried in snow- a couple of years ago Chardon received over 7 feet of snow in one storm-but this is a beautiful time of year there!). We packed our lunch and planned on eating it at our destination-a small lake 8 miles down the trail. It was such a scenic route with farmland, streams, and meadows, and we even passed an Amish horse and buggy at an intersection. It was a fun day, we spent time outdoors and had a good workout!

We had been here a couple of years ago but had no idea that this picnic shelter was recently added. They even added a ranger station where you could grab a kayak to use free of charge.

We miss you all, wish we were closer! You know if you ever want to visit, there are some interesting things to do in Ohio!
