Day 37 Ohio’s Nat’l Park – Oberlin to Newbury

Punderson Lake View from the Hotel Manor House at Punderson State Park – we are in cabins

Miles today 80.4
Miles total 2950.9
Elevation today 3793 ft
Elevation total 115375 ft
Weather – in the 60’s all day, no jacket only arm sleeves. Cloudy with a cross head wind of about 10 mph with some gusts to 20 – annoying but able to move thru

Today was deep rollers, a couple that had grades of 12%…tough times to get up. I had a great day I beat the Hammerheads to hotel!!! Albeit a couple of them were on the phone dealing with hurricane issues in NC and GA, that slowed them up….but a win is a win and I was here before them!

We went thru the only National Park in OH today – Cuyahoga National Park. Can’t say there was much to look at other than trees with leaves and a road that was freshly chip sealed (gravel everywhere). No visitor center, no rangers, very few peeps. So therefore no pics!!!

Next up we are going to Meadville, PA…shorty of ~65 miles!!!!
