On the banks of the Ohio

We’re at Leith Run Recreation Area, 18 miles east of Marietta, Ohio, and part of Ohio’s Wayne National Forest.  The campground is on the Ohio river and right now, we only have four neighbors.  It’s on the water, quiet, and beautiful. 
View from our campsite.  I paced off the distance between our rig and the Ohio River and it is just 43 yards.
We see quite a few barges -- usually full of coal -- being pushed up or down the river.
Jim doing some clean up the day after a brief but quick-hitting and ferocious wind/rain storm.  We’d left our awning out and learned how to take it down fast; we got soaked, but nothing was damaged.  With all the trees and hills, we just didn’t see the storm coming.

  1. Looks beautiful, Bev. Woods, River, hurricanic winds, ah the nomadic life.

  2. Our clothes still aren't dry. Of course, they are still in a heap in the shower.

    1. I just looked at the campground map and I think we were in site 10, but I'm not sure. This is a lovely campground so I don't think you'll go wrong no matter what site you get. And Marietta is a great little town, so if you haven't been there please visit. Have wonderful time!
