Back to Ohio

Three more states today! We spent most of the day on Interstate 90. Of course, in New York, 90 is a toll road. It cost us another $14.15 to get out of the State of New York.

We cut across the corner of Pennsylvania along Lake Erie, then followed I-90 into Ohio. In Cleveland, I-90 takes a pretty sharp ninety degree turn. There are big signs a long way ahead of time telling traffic to slow to 35 miles per hour to take the turn. When we got close to the turn, traffic had slowed down almost to a standstill. It took us almost an hour to make our way around the turn. We were passed by both police cars and an ambulance. When we finally got to the actual turn, most of the lanes were blocked by a fire truck. There were a couple of mangled cars and rescuers were working with the Jaws of Life on the back seat of one of the cars...

NOT what you want to see happen!

State Highway 2 split off from I-90 towards Sandusky Bay. We crossed the Bay towards Port Clinton, then took Highway 93 to Erie Islands Resort & Marina. The portion of the RV park we are in only has a few RVs, but lots of Canadian geese. I counted 47 in a flock of them that were mowing the grass this evening.

It's a good thing we both grew up on a farm and learned early to watch where we walked!
