We started the morning in the fog so we did not see much of Lake Superior for awhile. We travelled through the forested area north of Lake Superior all day. We stopped at Wawa to see the famous Wawa Goose. Actually now there are two of them. As we got closer to Sault Ste. Marie ...

Today we explored Sudbury noticing how green it has gotten, such a huge change from when I arrived here in 1967 after having been hired to teach here over the phone.

... a drive was pretty exciting. Focused on the stimulating conversation Peter missed the speed limit change to 80. We got pulled over by the notorious and feared OPP. Ontario Provincial Police. So here's the scene. A nice jeep driving down a backroad with a well dressed business man in one seat and a seedy looking heavy bearded hippy lookin fella in the other. Guess which one I was. So he talked to Pete for a couple minutes and then gave me a thorough interogation outside the car ...
