Hmmm... The posting I thought I entered here last night... didn't Here's a picture of the squirrel chainsaw carving. BTW- more rain today. It was dry until the afternoon. Then back to the same old, same old.

Been at Mohican all week. I little rain here and there. River is way up, but can still kayak and raft. Many changes here at the state park. All pads have been repaved, 17 more full service sites, some double wide paved sites added, a "splash pool" being added to the pool, new 50 amp electric boxes in every site. They are redoing the cabins starting Dec 15th.

I'm surprised, with all the rain that's gone through even north of here, the creekside sites wouldn't be flooded.

Good news on the updates to the CG. Hope more are coming for other OH SP's. I'm guessing the other year when ODNR asked us for input (which I gave them a WHOLE BUNCH) when they got the funds, they finally got around to spending some of that $$.

Where are the double-wide sites?

We had one of the larger creekside sites (#100). Was able to kayak or tube everyday in the creek. Yes, it was much higher than normal, but we didn't get that one big rain storm mid-week that went just south of us.

Many improvements at Mohican State park. Total re-pave of the whole campground, all new 50 amp electrical service posts, splash pool being built next to the pool, 17 more "full service" sites, about 6-7 site pads are now double wide. In Dec., the 25 cabins will be closed for a re-model.

Did a nice re-pavement job which included grinding up the old layer. The one problem is they should have made the aprons larger to swing into the sites. They used some of the old ground up pavement to run a 18" border along all the edges of the new paved areas, but without really having made the aprons wider to pull into a site, there are some deep ruts being dug into the sides of the campground roads with people trying to get their RV into some of the sites.

Send the rain my way! Could really use a week or so of a nice slow rain.

There are manufactured sectional homes called "doublewides", but I think most of them would be too big for a "double-wide" campsite.

...now, back to our regularly scheduled program...

**NLOVNIT** · 07-21-2015, 09:02 AM

HA!

After today's forecast rain, we're scheduled for 4 days straight (yes, I said 4 days) of no rain weather. I just won't know how to act if I'm not carrying an umbrella with me wherever I go.

I am on my third thunderstorm TODAY here in S.E. GA (McIntosh County) and 2nd Severe Storm Warning.. Rain nearly every night for I do not even remember the last day it did not.

Superslif · 07-22-2015, 08:29 PM

Sorry. "Double wide sites" The paved section of the site is double wide. Some are asphalt and others are cement. I kind of thought there were ADA sites. The lady at the office said yes people with disabilities can reserve them, but they are open to anyone. I'll even go out on a limb and say they are really wide.

Frank P. Martin · 07-23-2015, 07:03 AM

I've seen ADA sites at SP's in PA that are like that. Many times the picnic table is on a paved surface to make access to it easier for those with disabilities.

On the subject of weather, there's been a noticeable improvement in the weather for the past week here too... and they're forecasting the drier weather to continue for a while, so maybe I can finally get a load of gravel at the Home Base to complete the turnaround for the TT so I don't have to back it in all the way from the bottom of our street.

I'm not surprised that you're getting rain in a county whose name means "raincoat" in the UK!

In the great Northwet, (NW Washington State), we haven't had any of our usual "miserable precipitation" for several weeks. The maple trees in our yard have already dropped most of their leaves, and even the rhodies are looking very sad. The only things that look anywhere near normal are the ceanothus and escallonias. If a spark hit the lawn, I think it would go "bang".

Frank P. Martin · 07-27-2015, 07:58 PM

Wow! The rain goes away for a few days and everyone goes with it. Now, it's heat & humidity. Got up to 88 here today. They're forecasting low 90's for the next two days, then cooling slightly to the mid 80's for a few days before climbing back to the upper 80's/low 90's. Finally... summer.

**NLOVNIT** · 07-27-2015, 09:24 PM

I'm not going to complain about it being hot/humid. We had a miserably long/snowy winter & a wet spring/early summer. Now that it's dried out, I'll take what I can get.
