PERKINS TWP OH |
Day 3 started out near Sandusky OH. We stopped at a Fire Station in Perkins Township OH, which had a good looking Sutphen Aerial Tower on the ramp. |
SANDUSKY OH |
Years ago, we visited Sandusky Ohio, the home of the Cedar Point
amazing Roller Coaster amusement park. Today it was off in the
distance, more impressive than ever. We took the opportunity to
photograph the Sandusky FIREBOAT and headed west again. seeing some
farms and sights along the way. |

TOLEDO OH |
The next city on the trip was Toledo, also known as Glass City. The first stop was at the two know Fireboats near the National Museum of the Great Lakes. A nice view at the city skyline on a beautiful day. The new FIREBOAT "Marine 1" was found at a dock near downtown, on a flourishing waterfront. We then made a brief stop at the local AAA Baseball field, home
of the Toledo Mudhens, before leaving Toledo. |
FIREBOAT COUNT: (4) For Day / (9) For Trip |
DETROIT MI - Fireboats |
About an hour north of Toledo is Detroit MI.
The first stop is the Detroit Fireboat Station. We have visited this before, but they have a new Fireboat 2 since our last visit. The older Detroit Fireboat "Curtis Randolph" is still docked on the shore of the Detroit River near the Ambassador Bridge, which connects the USA with Windsor, Ontario, Canada. The area around the Fireboat Station has been improved
considerably and now hosts the second FIREBOAT for Detroit. |
FIREBOAT COUNT: (5) For Day / (10) For Trip |
DETROIT MI - Baseball |
After photographing the Detroit Fireboats, we went downtown. The
weather was beautiful and timing was perfect, so we decided to stay
in town for Night 3. We got a hotel room within walking distance of NFL Ford Field and MLB Comerica Park in the heart of Detroit. The Detroit Tigers were hosting the Colorado Rockies at Comerica Park. This was our first visit to Comerica Park. We bought some cheap tickets, essentially so we could walk around and experience and photograph the ball park from various perspectives. The park is spectacular in many ways, with Tigers everywhere. It was very comfortable, user friendly, with many good food and beverages options, and great views of the city. We got to meet some very nice people and enjoyed a great baseball game. Tigers Won 11-0!
