Grand Tour 2008 Begins






We left Mooers Forks at 6:30 sharp. Nice sunrise, full tank and an interminable drive to Watertown. Finally got to the 81 and headed towards Lockport, NY. GPS sent us on a country road for the last 26 miles. With a GREAT piece of driving, we crossed a One-Lane bridge built in 1921. Had to necotiate a 90 degree turn to get on it. I thought I would have to undo the Toad to make it.

Niagara Falls is great. The US side is muc
h more scenic, but not as spectacular. The Canadian side is all about Casinos, T-Shirts and stuff, while the US is about parks, picnics and families. The town, however, is kinda nasty. Campground rates a 5




We then headed to Sanduski, Ohio. 2 Day stop here. The drive was rather windy from Gustav and hit a little rain.

Bypassed Cleveland. Besides RockNRoll Hall of Fame, it did not seem to deserve a stop.

Sanduski is a nice old town, refurbished to it's glory days.

However, the area is dominated by Cedar Poin
t Amusement. So, it is kinda tacky. And Very Expensive.

Campground is $27, with discount. See the cabins....$70 per night.
