hmmm.... Add an hour or so and go to the 1000 Islands area of the St. Lawrence River. I've never stayed there but have done the touristy boat tour of the 1000 Islands and Bolt Castle on a day I wasn't able to dive in Kingston. There seemed to be campgrounds on both the Canadian and American sides. Not sure what the diving in the area is like - might want to ask on the OFWF club or Lake Effects sub-forum if you don't get any input here. & Kingston is about an hour away and has some of the best diving in the Great Lakes - Schooner country! & Brockton can't be far away.

If I think of anything else I'll post again.

So I guess you're not making trucks during shut down.

We aren't working either so I'm doing a 4 day camp out in Hocking forest (southern OH)w/ rock climbing/rappelling, kayaking and some swimming for the Boyscouts.
Also planning a 4 day kayak trip down the Muskingum river to the Ohio river.

did u get your window fixed yet?

Actually, Scuba North has some great charters to the Manitou Islands and the Straits of Mackinac you could check into.

Tim,
No were not making trucks during shut down Thank god. I need the break.

We have been doing this two week shut down for many years now and have run out of things to do. We cant decide this year what to do. It will be hard to beat last years we went to Cancun pretty descent diving there hehe. I know what I want to do but the wife doesnt dive so I have to mix in the places that have descent touristy stuff also. we thought about doing some road trip stuff but dont want to spend the whole two weeks driving. Not to mention the logistics of staying overnight you seen my bunkhouse then when you add the jetskiis on the back of that you need a pretty good acre to park and a lot of smaller campgrounds just dont have the room. I like to find a campgound as a central location then do the stuff from their.

thanks laser but we did that two years ago and Had a great time by the way in fact it was mentioned that maybe we should do it again this year Put-in-bay was a blast we just rode the jetskis over there. Eye candy was good if you know what I mean. LOL we stayed in Port clinton area. interesting little town.

Thanks again. Still keeping that one in mind.
