Ohio and Indiana

We are not staying any nights in Ohio or Indiana, we're actually only touching the edges of these states which is a real shame but 6 months is just not long enough!

For Indiana, we are stopping off at Indiana Dunes State Park on our way from Chicago to Dearborn. The park is located along the southern tip of Lake Michigan and it known for its breathtaking scenery. I am hoping we're going to be able to stop off for a couple of hours to explore the sand dunes, relax on one of the beaches and take a couple of short hikes.

A far quicker way of getting from Michigan to Niagara Falls would have been to drive through Canada but we're not sure that once we leave America, they will let us back in even with visas! So we're playing it safe and we're going to go the long way around which means we're driving along the edge of Ohio.

There are two routes we're aiming to take in Ohio:

Route 2 - also known as the The Cleveland Memorial Shoreway - It closely follows the shore of Lake Erie and connects the east and west sides of Cleveland via the Main Avenue Bridge over the Cuyahoga River.

Route 6 - also know as Historic Route 6 - It is the second longest highway in the USA and runs from from Bishop, California to Provincetown, Massachusetts.

Hopefully the extra time this adds to our trip will be worth it!
