We had another nice quiet sleep in the casino carpark. I much prefer it to a crowded camping ground, and the fact it\u2019s free is a bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today we spent the day exploring the Cuyahoga np in Ohio. We started with a 2.5 hour bike ride along a rail trail. It was a nice flat ride alongside a river. We saw a giant turtle with barnacles on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the ride we visited a waterfall and did a rocky walk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the time we\u2019d finished it was 6pm and we still needed to find somewhere to sleep. I\u2019d seen a free place on our iOverlander app with free overnight parking, free showers, and toilets and Burger King open 24 hours. There was a catch though. We\u2019d have to drive on a toll road to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After our bike ride we were both hot and sticky and the thought of a shower won us over. We swallowed our pride and drove on the toll road. We\u2019ve done such a good job of avoiding motorways so far, but thankfully it was only about 5 minutes on the toll before we arrived at the services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We headed straight for the showers then had Pizza Hut for dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The facilities here are better than some $60 campgrounds. And quieter too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ll see how much the toll was tomorrow when we exit the motorway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
