Maiden Voyage Revisited Day 11

Had a good nights sleep as the weather turned cool (38 deg) after a brief rain shower. Coffee and our leftover bagel and lox from yesterday morning for breakfast (Thanks Erich!).
Drove Rt 20 to Mentor, OH.  Nice drive and a neat town. We visited the home of James A. Garfield, a National Historic Site (yep, got the passport stamped).  Here's a few pics:

The house from the back.

 Leaning on a Sycamore tree.  They had some beautiful old trees on the property.
 Cath by a giant elm.
A good shot of the giant Sycamore.
The old mill as you enter the property. Zoom in the the top.
On the way back to camp picked up a few things, got gas, and stopped at a local butcher for some yummy steaks.
Back at camp, I decided to try out the satellite dish as we have a pretty good view of the southern sky.  We have camped 61 days since I bought the Sat dish and this is the first time we actually thought we could use it as we are normally in the woods.  This time we got two of the three Sats needed and naturally not the one I need to watch Thursday Night Football! Oh well, guess we will watch a movie tonight.
Lentil soup and fresh bread for dinner.  Will be another nice sleeping night as temps will be in the 30s.
Our friend Gina will arrive tomorrow.  Lots of yakking and maybe a little drinking.  We are looking forward to her visit.
