East Harbor State Park – Marblehead, OH

We stopped at a Harvest Host for two nights before heading to Ohio. Our stop was in Shipshewana, IN at the Menho-Hof Amish Cultural Center. A tour of this facility was significant in enlightening the three divisions of the Amish culture and their beliefs. They built this structure to educate and have others understand their way of life. The Amish community rallied together and made the outside structure of the building in one week without using any nails. It is genuinely remarkable and worth visiting if you are nearby.

On to Marblehead. Just my luck, there were two lighthouses. One in Port Clinton and the other in Marblehead. The Marblehead lighthouse was a wonderful visit during daylight but while we were there, the blue supermoon occurred, and we made a trip back at night. We got some great pictures, but the one I wanted where the moon was above the lighthouse would have had us there till 3:00 a.m., which was a little past our bedtime.

The next day, we rode almost 10 miles to hop on the ferry to visit Kelley Island. It was a beautiful day for a ride. We stopped to see the Glacier Grooves and visited Kelley’s Island Wine Company Vineyard on our way back. With a glass of wine and a charcuterie board, we spent the next hour basking in the sun and enjoying the atmosphere. We rode back to the campground to enjoy a campfire and prepare for our next destination.
