Der muss den ganzen Fluss r\u00fcckwarts bis zum Lake Erie. Es gibt keine Chance zu wenden. Ich vermute, dass sich die ein oder andere Fotogelegenheit ergibt und folge dem Schiff, bzw. eile ihm voraus. Es lohnt sich. Das Schiff passiert r\u00fcckwarts durch die <em><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cuyahoga_River_Bridge_1\">Norfolk Southern Cuyahoga Lift Bridge<\/a> #1<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Es ist bald D\u00e4mmerung. Es wird Zeit f\u00fcr die letzten Fotos. Neben dem Great Lake Science Center ist die Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame. F\u00fcr einen Besuch ist es zu sp\u00e4t, aber vor dem Geb\u00e4ude steht der Tourbus von <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Johnny_Cash\">Johnny Cash<\/a>. Von hier habe ich Blick auf den Lake Erie und das Frachtschiff von vorhin. Chance f\u00fcr ein Foto. Der Rauch der Waldbr\u00e4nde ist dick genug, um das Sonnenlicht so stark zu d\u00e4mpfen, dass ich keinen Filter brauche.<\/p>\n<h5>On the Road again<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Es beginnt die Fahrt in die Nacht. Bis Pittsburgh sind es etwa 140 Meilen, also 2,5 Stunden fahrt. Zur\u00fcck zur I-90 ist es einfach. Jetzt muss ich den Abzweiger zur I-77 finden. Dann verpasse ich den Abzweiger auf die I-480. Keine Panik. Da kommt gleich die I-80, auf der ich sowieso gelandet w\u00e4re. Von hier an wird die Fahrt langweilig. Regen setzt ein. Die I-80 wird zur I-76.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Irgendwann kommt eine Mautstation, an der ich anhalten muss. Die Mautbox im Mietwagen funktioniert hier nicht. Nichts, was eine Kreditkarte nicht korrigieren kann.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pittsburgh ist nicht mehr weit. Es geht durch ein bergiges Gebiet. Dann kommen I-79 und I-279. Ein Rechtskurve und da sind sie. Die Lichter von Pittsburgh. Jetzt nur keinen Fehler machen: Rechts ab und nicht auf die Br\u00fccke. Dann gleich wieder links und auf Fort Duquesne Br\u00fccke. Hinter der Br\u00fccke links, sofort die rechte Spur, sonst lande ich auf dem Bypass und nicht auf dem Fort Duquesne Blvd. Rechts. Rechts und vorm Park wieder rechts. Jetzt muss ich nur noch einen Parkplatz finden.<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{\"blog_id\":1,\"permalink\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.seidenpriester.de\\\/?p=26798\"}' class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular\" data-original-width=\"810\"><div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 805px;

An hour later, I&#8217;m on the outskirts of Cleveland. I drive on sight. I park in the Willard Park Garage. Downtown is only a few minutes&#8216; walk away. The parking garage is right next to City Hall. I can see the football stadium from here.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As in Toronto, I only have a rough idea of what to see.

As I&#8217;m starting to get hungry\u2014it&#8217;s already 3 p.m., after all\u2014I stop at one of Cleveland&#8217;s many craft breweries. Don&#8217;t ask me which one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Refreshed, I walk along E 9th Street, past the old cemetery, to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Progressive_Field\">Cleveland Baseball Stadium<\/a>. Here I leave the beaten tourist track and head down to the old harbor area on the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cuyahoga_River\">Cuyahoga River<\/a>. Half a bridge (no idea what happened to the rest) and a staircase take me down to Canal Rd. Then I cross a closed iron bridge. Old streets, industrial wastelands, and squares that look as if there used to be halls here.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are lift bridges over the river everywhere, for trains and vehicles. Some look as if they have been out of service for 50 years and are rusting away. Others still seem to be in use. I take a photo of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hope_Memorial_Bridge\">Hope Memorial Bridge<\/a>, but forget to photograph the Art Deco figures, Guardians of Traffic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the old W&amp;Le RR Freight Depot, I&#8217;m back to normal city life. The Carter Road Bridge is also here. I cross Canal Basin Park and end up back at the river. It makes a 180\u00b0 turn here. I see a large cargo ship passing backwards under the Center Street Bridge. The ship only has a few meters to spare on either side. The river is as narrow as a lock chamber here.<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{\"blog_id\":1,\"permalink\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.seidenpriester.de\\\/?p=26798\"}' class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular\" data-original-width=\"810\"><div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 805px;

It has to go all the way back up the river to Lake Erie. There&#8217;s no chance to turn around. I suspect that there will be a few photo opportunities, so I follow the ship, or rather rush ahead of it. It&#8217;s worth it. The ship passes backwards through the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cuyahoga_River_Bridge_1\">Norfolk Southern Cuyahoga Lift Bridge<\/a><\/em> #1.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It&#8217;s almost dusk. Time for the last few photos. Next to the Great Lake Science Center is the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame. It&#8217;s too late to visit, but <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Johnny_Cash\">Johnny Cash<\/a>&#8217;s tour bus is parked in front of the building. From here, I have a view of Lake Erie and the cargo ship from earlier. A chance for a photo. The smoke from the forest fires is thick enough to dim the sunlight so much that I don&#8217;t need a filter.<\/p>\n<h5>On the Road again<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The journey into the night begins. It&#8217;s about 140 miles to Pittsburgh, which is a 2.5-hour drive. Getting back to I-90 is easy. Now I have to find the turnoff to I-77. Then I miss the turnoff to I-480. No panic. I-80 is coming up, which is where I would have ended up anyway. From here on, the drive becomes boring. Rain sets in. I-80 becomes I-76.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At some point, I come to a toll booth where I have to stop. The toll box in the rental car doesn&#8217;t work here. Nothing a credit card can&#8217;t fix.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pittsburgh isn&#8217;t far now. I drive through a mountainous area. Then I come to I-79 and I-279. A right turn and there they are. The lights of Pittsburgh. Now don&#8217;t make any mistakes: turn right and don&#8217;t go onto the bridge. Then immediately left and onto Fort Duquesne Bridge. After the bridge, turn left, immediately into the right lane, otherwise I&#8217;ll end up on the bypass and not on Fort Duquesne Blvd. Right. Right and then right again before the park. Now I just have to find a parking space.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But first, I unloaded the suitcases, checked in, and dropped the suitcases off in the room. Wow. Now that&#8217;s a hotel room, with a small kitchen. The room could almost be as big as my apartment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now I quickly looked for somewhere to have dinner. I have to move the car anyway. The road network confuses me, or maybe I&#8217;m just tired. I find a pizzeria. That&#8217;ll have to do. I eat there. Then I park the car on the side of the road near the hotel. I really did find a free parking space. I&#8217;ll take care of everything else tomorrow. I just want to go to bed.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><\/div><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2023 war ich f\u00fcr ein Jahre in den USA.
