10/3/2005 -- Two Harbors, MNOur last full day in Ohio was on Wednesday September 28. We had meetings most of the day, focusing on State-by-State reports of highlights from the past year; facilitated breakout sessions on different topics (grant administration, permitting, federal consistency, and outreach/education); and a session on 'regional coordination'. Follwing all that we got a chance to get out and see some more of Ohio's coastal resources with a tour of Magee Marsh, Crane Creek State Park, and Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge. The picture is from the refuge. We took a big bus way back into the refuge where people don't usually go. There were lots of herons and egrets, ducks and geese and a few raptors including immature bald eagles, and red-tailed hawks.
After the tour we had reservations for dinner at MonAmi Restraunt and Historic Winery. It was a buffet style dinner but the food was good and the local cabernet franc made a good, casual accompaniment.
On Thursday morning we left the hotel about 6 a.m. eastern time. The trip home was fortunately uneventful and we arrived back at the Duluth airport a bit after noon.
