Today's ride was shorter than ideal because there are no campsites on our route after this one for about 75 miles. So at about 4.20pm we came to a halt at North Perry Township Park, where we were welcomed very kindly by the man on the office. Kindness to strangers is more evident in the USA than perhaps any other place I have travelled through. I think of the cake, etc, handed out at outdoor birthdays, the free camping, the lifts to bike shops (back in 2004), and more. We set off from Pennsylvania early - about 9.20am and soon reached Conneaut; and were now in Ohio. It has a Dollar General so we were restocked with trail mix. We headed on to Ashtabula where a cyclist's gym owner gave us water and told us of a 'burrito ride' where lots of cyclists do 30 miles to a burrito restaurant for lunch and then do the 30 miles home - a fin way of doing community cycling. And we got lunch in the supermarket opposite. Food bulks large on the cyclist's mind.... We noticed a few Biden and Harris posters - Trump won Ohio last time so this is a Republican state recently. After Ashtabula two dogs tried to chase us but due to sheer plumpness failed to get up to any speed. We sped on to Geneva on the Lake for lunch and birthdays were being celebrated. No beach evident though. Then on through what seems to be the first hints of Cleveland to reach this campsite, where the 4th July is still being celebrated - perhaps the main event.... fireworks East, West and North. I noticed a cooling tower peeking out from the nearby trees. At the shops three miles away a man asked me what I thought of the USA. I said it seemed reassuringly unchanged from 10 years ago. But where are all the solar panels in this hot sun? He replied by saying that they have nuclear power just nearby. So that's the cooling tower nearby! Perhaps we'll not have a swim. Turns out there's a huge size scandal about this nuclear plant - it's continuing existence was due to bribing members of the Ohio Senate to subsidise it through additional taxes - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio_nuclear_bribery_scandal . A Republican member is now doing a big jail term. I wonder if Trump, if a winner in November, will give him a presidential pardon, otherwise known as springing someone from jail. The cooling tower can be seen to the left of my photo, rather fisheye, of the view from the campground. We have finished the day with a beer (Edmund Fitzgerald Porter from Great Lakes Brewing) commemorating the tragic sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald - but this was on Lake Superior - and famously described in song by the folk singer Gordon Lightfoot. Worth a listen.
