Destination 2
Wind north through the hills to the Ohio River. Cross over into Ohio – up and over to I-75 north at Dayton. With a reminder to myself to not take that route again. Not that it’s likely I’ll ever need that route again ….
Follows are photos of all the interesting places along I-75 in Ohio:
After the excitement of Toledo, I cross into Michigan headed for Detroit and points north.
Other than passing through on I-75, I didn’t get into the city proper. Just as well. Missed a few things on my to-do list though – among them, the Detroit Institute of Arts.
I’ve seen prosperous areas with less visible economic activity than I saw in the northern suburbs. Detroit proper may be a dump – can’t speak to that – but north Detroit metro seems to be a hive of activity: wide-spread construction activities, factories re-opening, rush hour traffic, outrageous property values …
So anyway, I arrive at brother’s home … and into wedding preparations.
And, unknown upon arrival, a week of the women breaking into spontaneous karaoke, a cappella.
Family – sometimes I miss it all at once.
You could have taken 33 west off of I-75, I’m pretty certain 33 is just north of Dayton, to 127N and then north into Michigan. It’s a much more relaxed and scenic drive, and you’d also would’ve had a chance to stop at Annie Oakley’s grave just off of 127. I hate I-75, unless it’s the run from the Mack up to the Sault.
I was trying to take 23N to Findlay but too much surface traffic (and Columbus) for a “destination” trip instead of “journey” and where I’m going is just off 75. 127 has its own issues. (2 bros do the “127 Garage Sale” every year). I wanted to get up to Copper Harbor this trip but …
I-75 was the expressway of my pre-adult driving. Grandparents lived in Dayton; I-75 Detroit-Dayton was a common drive.
I have visited Buffalo Bill’s grave.
Brother highly recommends the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation in Dearborn. Explore Henry Ford Museum | A Hub of American Innovation
