…I found myself in Northern Ohio and Detroit. I wish I had more photos from this day accessible, but they’re either lost or in a random hard drive somewhere. I made it to Put-In-Bay (look at this view of Cedar Point, which was a real treat when I was a kid), trucked it up to River Raisin Battlefield, and stopped by my old house in Grosse Pointe Park, a suburb of Detroit. It was my first time back since moving away after 3rd grade.

A theme park with several roller coasters is situated near a large body of water under a cloudy sky.
