2009 Ohio Trip: Day 3
Today was a relaxing day in the land of Ohio. Woke up in the camper at Mosquito Lake, was pretty amazing. Lots of birds, nice cool breeze, and great scenery. Hung out on the deck and watched the birds along with a chipmunk that was running around. Took a small walk around the campground and took it all in, very nice!
For breakfast, Ken took us to a very special place called Monty’s. This place is very hard to describe. On one side is a bait/tackle/deer tagging spot and then the cafe. The cafe has maybe six tables and lots of signs…one sign says “NO PUBLIC RESTROOMS”. The waitress had three teeth and each went in their own direction. She did not say much, I was afraid to ask for things…but finally had my special Ohio breakfast. Included two eggs, sausage, home fries, wheat toast, and hash. I did get an official Monty’s t-shirt..it is very unique as it has a cartoon style mosquito. Listening in on some of the conversations was funny too…very true rednecks live out by Monty’s…you could easily film a movie at this place.
After breakfast, we took a drive and got some nice shots of mosquito lake, very beautiufl. Then hung out some more at the campground for a bit and said our goodbyes to Ken. Back to Dan’s Lazuta Lakes we go! By this time Dan and I both need a much needed rest. Got back to the house around noon and just hung out. It was very nice to hang out by the lake in the late afternoon with the slight breeze. It is pretty amazing as Dan and Deb even have a beach with about 3 feet of sand! It took two dump trucks full to get the sand there. Had some beers and just relaxed near the water. Did see this crazy looking wasp that was HUGE. It was digging for something. I am learning to live with the insects out here in Ohio.
Had some leftovers for dinner and then went to bed early as I was exhausted!
