We drove up from Berea, Kentucky, to Fairlawn, Ohio, today. We made it in time to drop by Brandywine Falls (a 60-foot drop; Amicalola in Georgia is 730 feet) at Cuyahoga Valley National Park between Cleveland and Akron, Ohio. The most interesting thing about the park (so far) is that it's a large natural preserve in the midst of a heavily populated urban area. I suppose that's the reason it exists, but just why it should rise to "national park" status mystifies me. I guess some politicians could answer that one. Otherwise, it seems like an area that could qualify as a national recreation area. We will visit again tomorrow, get our national park passport book stamped, and then hit the road for Mackinaw Island, Michigan and, in a few days, the Upper Peninsula.
