Cuyahoga Valley National Park

From Kentucky, I drove north and east, all the way to Cleveland. Unfortunately, I arrived to late to go to an Indians game at JacobsProgressive Field.

Other than being a stopping point on the long road home, the Cleveland area is home to
Cuyahoga Valley National Park. This might be a place to insert a joke about the Cuyahoga River catching fire and what a polluted mess it might be. However, it is somewhat cleaner now, and the stretch of river and canal preserved in this park are of historical interest. I spent a few hours exploring a portion of the canal, which has walking/jogging/biking paths along the old tow path.

From there, the road turned further east, as I drove on into New York.
