We got Michigan too!

So we added three new states to our list today and a National Park! Bertha (the RV’s name…thanks to Keith) traveled in Ohio, Indiana and also Michigan. We took the opportunity at the end of the day today to travel less than a mile out of our way and enter the great state of Michigan. Now we can add three more stickers to our state map.

We also took a 4 hour side trip to Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio. This is one of the smallest & most recently established NPs. We opted for a scenic train ride through the park. The railway was established in 1880 and virtually replaced the old canal ways for travel in the Ohio valley. I would consider this park more of a historic piece of American culture than a natural wonder. We did see some pretty cool blue heron nests. (did you know that they make their nest on the tops of trees?)

Now I've got one new National Park up on Mark!
