We had a short drive Monday to Deer Creek State Park southeast of Columbus, Ohio. On the way we stopped at a do-it-yourself car wash with good overhead clearance. We could almost fit the trailer in. We could pull the front end in and scrubbed the front cap and about 10 feet back along each side.

Tuesday was cold and windy, but Wednesday it warmed and I went out with bug and tar cleaner and spent a couple of hours scrubbing dead bugs off the front.

I took this when I had one side done. If you look close you can see the bugs still speckling the driver’s side. I then put a coat of wax on it, because the cleaner had wax but the finish looked very uneven after I’d used it. Finally we washed the rest of the trailer and put a ceramic wax on all of it. The whole thing took two days.

I did walk Matey and explored this huge park. I found this trout lily in bloom.

They have a lot of recreation opportunities here. They have a regular golf course and mini golf and pickleball.

They also have something called GaGa Ball. It’s basically dodgeball played in a “pit”, but you can only propel the ball by slapping it. Good thing, because the pits are not very big! A thrown ball at this close range could really hurt!

They have disc golf and we took the time to play nine holes. It was a decent course and Matey went crazy because we let him off the leash for a bit.

With all these things to do this is a very popular park. Our area is almost full, but we have full hookups.

It’s more crowded now that it’s Easter Weekend, but there’s still plenty of space on the sites with only electricity, no water or sewer. It’s a trade we were willing to make as we are staying a week.

Yesterday, after some more jobs, we took a short hike to look at the lake.

The trail led to the end of a peninsula.

It was windy, but warm and nice to get out and see this huge park a bit.
Washing and waxing your camper DOES sound like a LOT of work!
