Monday – August 27,
2012 – Butler OH
OK, Monday looks like rain L We decide to get on our bikes and do a ride
on the bike path early before the rain.
We started at 8:30 am and went 2 miles east to the end of the trail in
Butler. We then turned around and rode 5
miles past our campsite and then turned around and headed back as it was really
looking like rain any minute.

This is at the start of the bike trail in Butler.

The access
from the campsite to the trail is via a gravel road with a somewhat steep
U-turn up on to the paved trail. When we
got back to this access point, we going
a little too fast. I was in the lead and
when I made the corner going down the turn I started to slide but able to gain
control. I looked back to check on Patty
and that’s when I heard her fall. She lost control and went over the handle
bars on to the mixed gravel and pavement.
She only had minor scrapes however her right elbow was hurting. We got back to the RV just as it started to
rain which it did most of the day. Patty
iced the elbow and we just hung out watching TV, reading, and took a nap J
The rain finally stopped and it really completely cleared up around 6
pm. I went on a wood expedition with the
roll-ez and found some good but wet wood for a campfire. We bought jumbo marshmallows and roster
forks just before we left NJ and wanted to use them. With liter fluid and a roll of paper towels
we got the fire going very well. It was
a great ending to a wet but wonderful day.
