We left Indiana & headed across to Ohio.
Saw a lot of the "buggy crossing" signs on the side of the road--and finally saw one! (in Indiana)
We made a detour up into Michigan (just to say we've been in Michigan)--the state Rusty was born in. We ended up driving for a little ways to find a welcome sign (I guess the smaller rural roads aren't as welcoming??? :D) but we finally found one. And we found a Wal-Mart (Sturgis, MI) so we stopped & bought lunch/snacks.
Dropped back into Indiana & headed over to Ohio
Today was just mainly a long driving day to get to the Kirtland area.
A cool bridge we crossed.
Once we decided not to go to Hiram, OH (to the John Johnson home where Joseph Smith was tarred & feathered & one of their twins died that night), we stayed closer to the "coast"
So we could see Lake Erie. We drove by this tall stack & it looked like smoke was coming out, but found out it was a nuclear plant, so it was only steam.
Stopped at a wildlife refuge (for a bathroom break)
and to see Lake Erie.
The trees & vegetation is so thick that sometimes it hard to see anything other than what's close to us. Saw a great egret
We got out so we could touch Lake Erie--it was a windy (& a bit cloudier) day, so the waves were really crashing along the shore.
Played in the sand a bit--
and found some seashells.
saw a great egret on the way back to the highway.
and saw the White Sox baseball stadium in Cleveland, Ohio.
