June 16 – Rushing to Port Clinton
We woke up early to try to make it into Town before the post office closed. Our plan was to get in by five, pickup our package, have dinner and hike out of town. The kids were a little lethargic…

The kids woke up in their hammocks to wish me a happy Father’s Day. The day started at a beautiful campsite and ended at another beautiful campsite. It doesn’t get much better than that.

We were up and packed early to hit the trail, but our plans for an early departure were waylaid by a slow breakfast at the restaurant across from the hotel. Three of us got our food, but Mama Bear’s omelet…
