We woke up at our campsite at Nimisilla Reservoir at Portage Lakes State Park around 730pm to a light rain. I had already decided to take a zero today. A zero is a day of no hiking. The weather forecast was for rain and plunging temperatures and I had hiked seven days in a row including hiking 46 miles in two days. It was an easy decision for me. Scallion decided to get back on the trail.
In the car on the way back to the trail it started raining harder. We asked Scallion if he would like to zero also. After a little persuasion and a few more rain drops he said yes.
Maria took us back to her house so we could rest, eat and sleep. And that is just what we did.
My plan is to finish the Ohio To Erie Trail on Tuesday.
Lake Erie here I come!
