Yeah, what a bummer! I was driving in downtown Cleveland near the Rock and Roll H of F and a car two cars up decided to make a left turn without signaling and I didn't see the car in front of me stop, the rest is history and I am dealing with insurance, repair shop and reservation cancellations. AAA gave me up to $1500. for expenses and it is going to be between 3 - 5 weeks to repair, so I chose to fly home to deal with things in my comfort zone. No one was hurt, which is the most important thing and as far as accidents go, everything went smoothly. I am now flying with Cheryl to New Jersey on August 25th to set Bryanna up at Seton Hall. I will resume the blog when I get back on track, hopefully for the OSU vs. USC game in Columbus, OH on September 12, 2009. Good thing I am retarded...I mean retired!!!

Motor home and bike maintenance day and then a 12 mile bike ride to St, Clair and back. Spent too much time on the computer today researching "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" for tomorrow and future camp locations. I had time for a swim and workout, then made a batch of "Papa's green beans". No pictures today...

Headed south to Muskegan, MI; who said there wasn't a Navy Port in the middle of the U.S.? Then I headed east across the whole state of Michigan to Port Huron, where Thomas Edison spent his childhood. Across the port was Canada, where I did not venture! I ended up at St. Clair Thousand Trails about 50 miles north of Detriot.

Hung out in Mears most of the day, just parked the motor home near Jellystone campground and play area. Lots of go-carts, resorts, off-road rentals for the sand dunes, and water sports on Silver Lake. Great place for kids to play [old and young]. Rode my bike all over town and to the only resort in town with a jaccuzi [imagine that]. Hiked up a sand dune and looked over Lake Michigan about 5 miles away. My resort was about 5 miles north across the street from the lake, drove back past my resort to Pentwater where there was a marina that headed out to Lake Michigan [cool town].

Took the rental car back to Niles and was driven back to the campground by Enterprize. Took time for a jaccuzi before packing up and heading north to Mears, MI at Timberlake Resort. Arrived about 5 pm and set up camp. Rode my bike around the resort and down to the private beach the resort owns. Swam in the pool and got on the computer.

Domestic day [4 loads of wash, house cleaned the motor home] swam and spa'd. Drove to Four Feather Casino and made a small donation. Shopped and toured New Buffalo on Lake Michigan and made it back to the campground for a jaccuzi!!! Heard a message from Mom that they made it home OK.
