Days 64/65 - Conneaut, Ohio

Conneaut (Con-knee-ought) is a neat little town on Lake Erie in northern Ohio. They have a very nice RV park so we decided to spend a couple of days seeing the area. The town has a very neat little railroad museum in town for no charge. It was cool to see an old steam engine again!
There are many vineyards and winerys in the area. I was surprised to find out that this is one of the largest grape growing areas in the country, mostly Concord for Welchs. The wine was good but nothing to write home about but they are very proud of it.
There are a ton of covered bridges in the area. They have a map that takes you to 10 of them on a 15 mile round trip route. It makes for a very nice afternoon, especially when you stop for wine tastings in between bridges.
