Day 16

Our journey took us 259 miles today. Starting our morning in PA we went west and entered Conneaut, OH at 9:00 a.m. where we picked up the Coastal Ohio Trail, Hwy 6 right along Lake Erie. We got on to I-90 for a short time to get around Cleveland which gave us some very scenic views of the lake. After getting away from the city we got back onto the Erie Lake Circle tour passing through towns that were the classical picture of hometown USA. Each one having McD's, Walmart, Perkins, Lowes, etc.

We did pass through an interesting town with a channel coming off of Lake Erie in which many very large boats were parked, like a marina but each was docked near a home.

As we ventured away from the circle tour the flat land was dotted with farms growing corn, soybeans, pumpkins and wheat.

We found 9 geocaches, a couple in some very interesting cemeteries.

Needing to get our laundry done we stopped in Bowling Green for the night. We are at the Best Western, laundry is done and are bellies were filled at Tim Hortons. We did not think we would find another one on this trip. There are hundreds of bicycles in town so we are trying to figure out where the tour is going.
