Gary's Blog entry

Gary should start his own blog. Maybe he will get to it one day, in his old age. Just did the math and I was 59 when I started this one. He isn't quite that old just yet. I thought this entry of his would be one he will want to save for future reference and perhaps someone would also like to check out the area he is telling us about.
Gary's Entry:

We've been lucky and not had a spot camping this year where we've said mark it off the list for next year. This past weekend we went to Pomona Lake in Kansas. Things that make it a go-to spot for next year include several things. Most lakes we visit I'm not missing getting on the water all that much. This lake is one where I would have loved having a boat and getting out there. The campground we used (http://www.reserveamerica.com/camping/michigan-valley/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&parkId=73275) was right on the shoreline near the dam and the largest basin. The beach (free) was within walking distance of the campground. We got a nice pull-thru level site with water and electric. If you want full hookups then you have to choose a back-in spot closer to the showers. We had plenty of green space for setting up our play things. There were 3 playgrounds for the kids within walking distance. It is a real pretty spot an hour and 20 minutes from home. About an hour from home (on the way to Pomona Lake) is Ottawa, KS that has two rail trails going through it
