We got on the toll road this morning by 9:00 AM and headed eastward under hazy skies and warm temperatures. Our goal was to get to downtown Cleveland, Ohio and go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. After getting by Toledo we found a scenic route along the south shore of Lake Erie on US Highway 6. We passed mansion after mansion that backed up against Lake Erie. Many had been there some time but there were many new ones also. We saw several for sale but think they might just be a bit out of our league.
We found a park along Highway 6 that led us through several villages and by marinas and other sights. The area was guarded by very personable policemen, one being on horseback that was kind enough to let me photograph him. From there we took some nice shots of the lake, beach and wildlife.
We moved on to downtown Cleveland and found the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame right next to the Cleveland Browns football stadium near the Coast Guard marina and across from the beautiful Cleveland skyline. The Hall of Fame was very busy but packed with memorabilia of almost everyone you could imagine that was involved with rock and roll and some you might not have thought of. There were many guitars on display and lots of clothing worn by rock stars. Elvis's Lincoln was on display as was many other of his possessions. It was a delightful time and we could have stayed longer and waited for some of the shows.
We left Cleveland and went south east toward Pittsburgh which we skirted and stopped at our motel in New Stanton, PA. We found a nice steakhouse, had some great cheeseburger chowder and called it a night. Our plan tomorrow is to arrive and Greg and Kelly's house by mid-afternoon.
