After Niagara Falls, we began our trek west. Our first stop was south of Cleveland. Here we checked out the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a 33,000-acre park that borders Cleveland to the north and Akron to the south. The park protects 20 miles of the Cuyahoga River, which flows north into Lake Erie. This park […]

We had a great time in the Niagara Falls area. The first day we were there, we went over to see the falls during the day. As a kid, I remember going to Niagara Falls, but there were several things that I didn’t remember. First off, I didn’t remember that there are more than one fall. The most well known […]

At the ranger station for the Cape Cod National Seashore Park, Cole received his official Bark Ranger bandana. I think he looks awesome, what […]

This is a spot that Ed remembers from his youth, when his Uncle brought him here to go on a charter fishing trip. The sights have changed a […]
