Super nice riding day.
Most of the route from Erie to Perry is filled with grape farms. They look different than the ones I'm used to in the West. I'm used to older, meatier looking vines. These seemed to be much less established, but maybe it's because the use of these grapes are different so the variety and hence vine is way different. I really didn't look it up yet. But I didn't see any winery's, so I'm just assuming that these were not being used for wine. Anyhow, it must have been 20-30 miles straight of really beautiful wine fields.
We stayed at a really cool campground in Perry Township. There were no places to eat, so we were worried that we'd be eating oatmeal for dinner. However, upon arrival to the camp, we found that there was a few baseball parks nearby with concession stands - burgers! Also, we were treated very, very kindly by Charlotte, the manager of the campground. She didn't charge us a nickel for staying - she said that she never charges people on bicycles because we are doing something she had always wanted to do herself. The campground was relatively small, very clean and quiet and RIGHT on lake Erie.
Oh, and Pennsylvanian - CHECK!!
