The Journey Continues

We were looking forward to some camping outside Detroit for a few days while we caught a Tigers Cardinals game. Unfortunately, the weather had other ideas. It took us a long time to find the campground that we'd used a couple years ago, and when we found it, it was underwater! So we camped at the Motel 6! Pizza, TV and air conditioning.



We lucked out with a fantastic ticket agent at the Tigers, without a secret hint, we would have been in standing room, but she encouraged us to buy our tickets in the morning and we got seats in the handicap area on the lower level! No row to climb over, no one sitting in front or behind us, just a very nice Tiger's fan taking his elderly father to his first game! We had a great time, until the Cardinals lost in the 10th. It's still a beautiful park, I just wish we'd seen a winner.


FINALLY we got some camping in! We drove down to Toledo and decided to try to buy our tickets on the way into town. Luckily! There was nothing but standing room available until Sunday night's game. So we bought our tickets and then looked forward to a couple of days of camping. One of the actors from the festival was originally from Toledo and recommended a state park (Maumee Bay). It was very pretty and we finally got to relax and camp after almost a week on our trip! We even got to dip our feet in Lake Erie!

The game wasn't bad either! The park is beautiful, we had a little time to prowl around before the game. During the game, we were rooting for the Mud-Hens against the Louisville Bats, there were quite a few Bats fans sitting in the row behind us. Around the 7th inning, one of the guys behind us asked how many strike-outs the Bats pitcher had, he had 7! We found out he was the pitcher's grandfather! Now we were still rooting for the Hens but we were also pulling for the pitcher! Well, the Bats won but the Mud Hens made it interesting so it was a great time.
