Headed west to Mayville-thunderstorms and tornado warning, stopped by beach parking lot.  Suspicious character and lurking in the background friend asking for matches so he could checkkout my van, I saw matches on his dashboard.  After the storm I headed west to Lake Erie, Barcelona.  Identified on google search as Westfield.  Walked the beach and painted a painting of the shore by the fishing pier.  Parking all night for fisherman only.  I bought a cheap rod and reel to have on hand to look legitimate at these places.  I don't fish, I wouldn't want a hook in my mouth and I don't think the fish enjoy it, especially at catch and release places where they may be caught many times (fly fishing in yellowstone for example).  Spent the night here.  51.6 miles for day.
