30 June 2009 Geneva on the Lake










It was Tuesday and time for another Ohio State Park cache. We had heard this was a really simple hide with almost no walking. Within a few minutes we had walked to the cache, signed the log, and returned to the car. Still, it was a perfect evening. Lake Erie looked grand, and we had a short drive home. I said let's go to Geneva on the Lake. Ali reluctantly agreed.

If you need an image of Geneva on the Lake just think of the carny coming to town for the weekend and then only taking the rides when it left. The area has been a resort since 1869. It boasts the oldest miniature golf course in the US. It also has every possible junk food you could want, arcades, souvenir shops, carny games... You get the idea. Before and during WWII it was one of the many places along the Lake Erie shore that had a big band ballroom. By the 70's it was a biker town. Now it's back to being a fun place to wander around. It's only open from Mother's Day to mid-September, so make your plans now if you want to visit the oldest miniature golf course in the US.
