An interesting bit of history of a bygone era, when the road was a major coast to coast highway. I had no idea there were so many options for tourists and vacationeers along Route 6. It seems as though every farmer with land along the lake shore wanted to get a cut of the tourist pie.<br /><br />Unfortunately the advent of the Ohio Turnpike in the 1950s, and Interstate 90 later, effectively ended the majority of tourist traffic on Route 6. I'm sure it also affected the vacation cottages on the lake by providing quick access to other, more distant, vacation destinations. Hopefully, a few of the Lake cottage rentals you have spotlighted will remain active to keep the history alive.<br /><br />Over the years I have run into a few people doing the Lake Erie Circle Tour, including a Canadian father and teenage son at Old Prague Restaurant in Vermilion who were doing the tour on bicycles!Rick Kurishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-23483352648547801692016-08-19T11:41:58.748-04:002016-08-19T11:41:58.748-04:00Wow!
