We woke up in the night and again in the early morning to find we received a phenominal amount of rain. Our trailer was surrounded by a mout. The water drained enough so we could go outside and make breakfast. We did eat inside though, because everything was wet.
After cleaning up from breakfast we brought in the awning as we were to get high winds in the afternoon.
We set out to walk downtown Huntsviille and try to get some Bear Wear for John. They have changed their product line. Thus nothing for John, but hey we found a sweater for Stephanie.
We decided to go for a drive south toward Baysville and see where the road took us. John noticed that we would pass Bigwin Island. Previous home of the Bigwin Inn. We found the boat launch and the remains of the resort across the water in the distance. John made an inqury at the golf club and if we made such or dinner reservations, we could go to island, (It’s a private golf course community now), to see the remaining buildings and have a great meal. We have decided to come back in the spring or summer and enjoy the area.
Just as we departed Bigwig the heavens opened. On to a little town called Dorset. While having lunch i a small resturant we learned the the Bigwin boat was docked at the local dock and that the Dorset museum and a display all about the Bigwiin Inn. For those reading this, Stepahnie’s Mom Pat worked ate the Inn for at least two years in the late 1950’s. As we made our way back to the campground, we encountered all types of weather. Wind, rain, heavy wind and heavy rain. We learned later that evening that Ottawa and area encountered 3 tornados. The weather broke enough for us to explore Stubb’s Falls, a place where John used t swim during his visits to this park.
