Last night, Kathy and I stayed the night at my dad’s on Bates Lane.  We got in at about 7PM and decided to get a little stroll in at Sterling State Park.  What a beautiful night it was!  The heat of the past few days had dissipated, but the clouds emptied the beach area.  This created a quiet, almost fall-like mood at the park.

I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with Sterling.  On the plus side is its location on Lake Erie.  It’s always great to hear the waves crash.  And the renovation was a big improvement over what the park had once been.  But I’ve always been a bit cold to the smokestack views and the Army Corps dredge disposal area.  And the lack of dirt trails makes me avoid the park at times.

But last night, I really enjoyed our little walk.  Not every community has a shorefront.   And not every town has a large park with bike trails.  It really is a great community asset.  And its a nice place for walk on a coolish summer evening.
