I spend the entire morning at my campsite travel writing. Since yesterday was my last overnight I have to leave my campsite before noon (campground rules).

So shortly before noon I drive down the road and park in the public parking lot of Central Beach. I find a great shade tree to park under and continue on with my travel writing until around 7pm.

I then hit the road and head east to Ohio, destination Cedar Point Amusement Park. The plan is to spend the evening somewhere close to the amusement park, then tour the park tomorrow afternoon.

The drive is uneventful, boring, and utterly unnoteworthy. I end up overnighting at the Interstate Service Area near Sandusky, OH. The parking lot where I park was fully lit but is a safe place to overnight. I don't see any signs telling me car-camping isn't allowed so I settle in for the evening.
