Pymatuning Reservoir - August 21-22

Pymatuning Reservoir is a really big lake, but it has some terrific places to explore. We camped at the Jamestown Campground on the south shore of the reservoir and had a direct access, from our campsite, to a beautiful inlet with some great back water. In 30 years of marriage, this was Robbin and I's first real camping trip (Robbin's not the "outdoorsie" type). We knew that going anywhere with her brother Bob and his wife Donna, and our niece Chelsey and her boyfriend T.J. would be a blast, so it wasn't too hard to talk her into it. It turned out to be one of the best times we've ever had and we're already planning more camping trips for next year. Of course it helped that there were hot showers and toilets that flushed, but hey, we slept in a tent so it's still camping, right?















Pymtuning - Off The Water

At the spillway, the carp leap on top of one another to try and get the bread that people throw to them.

"Where the ducks walk on the fish".

The ducks and geese compete with the carp for hand-outs.

Chelsey and Robbin show off their gourmet "grill-meal".
