7/4/15 - Akron, OH

We took showers in the Casita this morning.  The campground we are in does not have them.  This is one of the few times we have showered in the trailer.  I don’t like to wipe the bathroom down afterward and it’s small so it’s hard to wash my hair.

 We left camp around noon and drove into Akron to Hoppin’ Frog Brewery and Mucky Duck Brewery.  Mucky Duck is a combination winery and brewery.  It is on Portage Lake, one of a series of interconnected glacial kettle lakes left over from the Pleistocene Ice Age. Then we made a stop at Walmart to get some items and food for our 4^th of July supper tonight at camp.  The camp is really full and there is lots of smoke from campfires.  We decided not to go to Kent for the fireworks tonight but we can really hear them.  Kent is about 4 miles away. This is the same Kent that has Kent State University.  The famous song by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young - “Ohio” (four dead in Ohio) was about the shooting of four Kent State students during a demonstration against the Vietnam War.
