Going from Sandusky to Willoughby, I passed through Cleveland and was surprised at how nice the surrounding areas are. Cleveland's downtown is nice and clean, but I was very impressed with the many parks and little streets with cute houses or grand estates overlooking Lake Erie

Staying in Sandusky an extra day to rest my legs and get new tires. Beautiful lakes and rivers everywhere in northern Ohio.
I looked for something photo worthy in Toledo, but I didn't look very long and couldn't find anything. There were many beautiful houses along the river just west of Toledo.

Harrison Lake State Park is a very nice park. The park fees are a bit more expensive than in the other states I've visited, but the quality of this park makes it worth it.

The Studebaker museum was very impressive. I'm kind glad they went out of business before the ugly 1980's cars arrived.

Walking around the Notre Dame University campus made me miss college, but I don't miss the paper work.
