As we left the Mount Rushmore area in the southwest corner of South Dakota, we started a 5-day drive to the Detroit area so we could see The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation again. Our drive took us through Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana before we crossed the Michigan state line. Usually we only have reservations for one or two campgrounds along our route, but since we were only going to be staying one night in each place, Barney made reservations for all of them. What a change for us, but it was nice to have a place to stay after a long day’s drive. We also had made meals ahead of our drive, so all we had to do was heat them up when we got settled. This post takes us to Sterling State Park on Lake Erie that’s about 30 minutes south of The Henry Ford Museum. This is where we stayed the last time we came here in 2018 as part of our Michigan trip.
Seeing this sign was like South Dakota and our 5-month trip were saying good-bye to us. We had started our trip in South Dakota seeing the wooden teepee at a rest stop and a Wall Drug sign, and now we’re leaving the state seeing the same sights.
We’ll spend one day at the Henry Ford Museum and another day walking around Greenfield Village.
