The campground is full all weekend which is odd because there are no major events happening in the area.  Just enjoying the weather, I guess.  Tuesday I went fishing with my cousin Frank, his son Aaron and Ann's husband Ed.  We launched out of the North East marina and trolled off the 'mountain'

This was Discover Presque Isle weekend so it was crowded in the campground.  We did have a couple of strong thunderstorms pass through with high winds and buckets of rain which kept a few people away.  There was even a reported funnel cloud up on I-90 and a bit of storm damage across the border i
