\"Thank<\/a>

Thank goodness this place had a high pressure hose we could use !<\/p><\/div>\n

We did very few miles today. \u00a0Is it too much to ask for a decent coffee shop ? After about an hour driving in circles with the GPS bleating “recalculating” at every turn we gave up on breakfasting overlooking the lake. Actually we would have been content with ANY breakfast spot by then! \u00a0Instead we got bagels and muffins, tea and juice from a donut shop and went down to the beach on Lake Erie. \u00a0$5 to park ! \u00a0A girl had driven her car into deep sand and G went to help. \u00a0Together with some others they got her out. \u00a0There was a play structure which B enjoyed and we went down to the water to paddle. \u00a0Spike was very pleased to see “the sea” and darted in. \u00a0OMG he came out literally black ! \u00a0The black did not shake off, nor could it be rubbed off with grass or sand or hand. \u00a0There was no water \/ faucet to be found and Spike had to get into the car looking like a little tar barrel. \u00a0Lake Erie is very polluted given the surrounding industry yet Ohioans have little choice for a “beach experience”. \u00a0In the 1970s the river that runs through Cleveland actually caught on fire! \u00a0That is when they realized they actually need to do something and have cleaned the area up (well apparently not the water).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We stopped by a Winery and thank goodness there was a high-pressure hose we could use to clean Spike. \u00a0We bought wine, apples and peaches and continued on, with our freshly cleaned dog, to the beautiful Brandywine Falls in Cuyahoga Valley National Park.<\/p>\n
