Napoleon is on the Maumee river that flows through Fort Wayne and wends its way north into Lake Erie. The Toledo-Cincinnati canal followed the river at this point and Independence Dam was the site of Lock No. 13. The lock gates are long since gone but the lock masonry is well preserved. Highway 224 follows the river for 20 miles or so at this point and is rated as one of the best touring highways in the US and, better yet, it is practically deserted!

White Rabbit's first sleepover
Earlier this week we took the White Rabbit (see "The Navioneers" entry) for its first shakedown and spent a noisy and very rainy night in Napoleon Ohio. Ended up with a sizeable list of missed and forgotten "essentials" (one being a comfortable bed :o( ) which we will remedy before taking off with Carly and Caitie this coming weekend.

Peter, thks for stopping by - now the rug couldn't be mine altho would like the color rather than the all white currently displayed in prominance. I find it hard to believe that you tow a guest cottage behind the Sig. WOW what a host to provide quest quarters to those that may drop by at an RV park.
See ya
