Yep …. that’s about as old as I am …. old enough to recall when the Great Lakes were not as “great” as they are today. Living on the western shore of Lake Michigan, it is nice to see it “alive”!

This is the first lighthouse we’ve seen here in Ohio. Unlike the many lighthouses in your state (Florida), Marblehead Lighthouse was only in use part of the year, because Lake Erie would freeze up in the winter.

I’m old enough to remember Lake Erie being declared “dead” (from pollution). Its nice to see it make a comeback.

Foraging? No, nature preserves generally don’t allow that. Though some state forests permit mushroom picking. I can’t really tell one mushroom from another – so I should probably stick to the supermarket.

Cedar Point – a good place to go when you feel the need for G forces. Haven’t been there for many years but I recall being dropped, spun, twirled, and inverted all day on the rollercoasters there. It was great!

Fascinating! It seems to me that the “greatness” of the Great Lakes is a well-kept secret. Thanks for publishing information about one of these jewels.

This was a most interesting and useful post. I haven’t been to that area for some time, even though it is fairly close to where I live. This post has all the information to plan at least one or more day trips this summer, and I thank you for your efforts here.
Do you do much foraging while out on your adventures?

…. One of my most favoritest places in the world, Bob! Well, actually just a bit south and east of there (Cedar Point) That stretch of Lake Erie shoreline is simply wonderful – and often overlooked by travelers. Thanks for bringing back some fond memories.

The yellow daisies are so pretty sprinkled everywhere. And the Killdeer shot with them is a keeper, what a photo op!
