A day through the worst state in America

So we left Niagra this morning at 6:30am ... which right now feels like days ago. We headed through a small corner of Pennsylvania before heading into the dreaded OHIO....DUN DUN DUNNNN


Saw some nice vineyards on the way through


Then it was on into Ohio and a stop at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Cleveland Browns Football stadium was right next to the Hall of Fame so we checked that out. There was also a beautiful sculpture dedicated to the fireman of Cleveland who lost there lives on duty. Unfortunately you weren't allowed to take pictures inside the Hall of Fame but I got a few shots of the outside of the building. The architecture was magnificent.

After the Hall of Fame we proceded onward through the hell that is Ohio. We were certain to drive cautiously due to the fact that there was almost always an angry trooper around every corner ready to pounce on any car that dares to disobey the speed limit. Nothing like being stuck driving the speed limit on a wide open stretch of prairie highway. Eventually we made it out of this wretched state and into Indiana. After a 12 hour day on the road we arrived at our Comfort Suite hotel.
We went to dinner at Applebee's and now are in for the night recouping.

Some severe weather is headed out way tomorrow so we've made a few travel changes. We're going to swing into Hannibal, MO and check out the Tom Sawyer cave and instead of spending the night there we are going to head another 200 miles through Missouri to take a chunk out of the 800 miler to Denver the next day. So it'll be another 12 hour day tomorrow and yet again the next day. But after that it's a few days in Denver to relax and see some family.

Next update from Saint Joseph, MO
So long.
