Notes

My memory fails me a little from this time, but during this period I was chronically low on funds and one way I was able to care for my daughter (of whom I shared custody with her mother) was to Go on an Adventure. Mott Waite is buried in Toledo, so a trip to his grave from Cuyahoga Falls (where I was living at the time) was a fairly straight shot on the Ohio Turnpike. It was a good day's adventure with m'girl!

UPDATE (10 Sept 2025)

En route to Detroit to get photos of Henry Billings Brown's grave, I stopped here to nab a photo sphere of the chief's gravesite.

One important note: at the present day, Google Maps (and others) will guide across a bridge to get across the water. That bridge has literally been blocked off with a big stone wall on both sides. You ain't gettin' across it.
