Return, Day 5: Ontario to Sault Ste Marie, MI
... feet. (And that mud stank!) We hiked back out, and piled back in the car. The whole hike probably only lasted about an hour, but we barely touched the extensive trails available there.
My final stop on the island was a brief lunch in Gore Bay, as I worked my way back off the island. The place I had been recommended wasn't open yet, so I settled for another place with lots of hunting trophies (read: stuffed dead animals) all around the walls and counters. Maybe ...
