... in Saskatoon for a quick lunch break.<br><br>Then drove on through. Drove along Hiway 13, reminiscing about our growing up years. Many trips un and down the hiway in 'party mode'. Couldn't help but notice the incredible changes. Would have loved to have stopped if time had permitted and weather had been better!!!<br><br>Great to be home. Michelle had delayed her departure home so we could have a visit. She a <br><br><br><br>

We left Sudbury mid morning and met some friends in Espanola. Carmene was one of my bridesmaids when I got married. We had a pleasant visit. Then we headed out for Sualt Ste. Marie and crossed into the US. We travelled along Hwy 28 in Northern Michigan to Marquette where we camped at Wal mart. We were reminded of home today by "Calabogie Road" near the Sault and "Carp River" in Northern Michigan. We saw a wolf today by the roadside.

... like red sandstone to me) and the dentist, bank and museum are impressive monuments to this past.  The rest of the towns&#8217; buildings are cute little Victorian clapboard houses with porches and verandahs and beautifully planted cottage gardens.  Bayfield had loads of cafes, chandleries and a large marina with the first concentration of sailing boats I&#8217;ve seen on the trip.  There was a Westerly Corsair (few feet longer than Just So ...

It was about a 5 hour drive from Bayfield to Marquette to get to my Minkus! The drive was once again pretty boring, but Brian and I enjoyed the tiny towns and making fun of the "ski resorts" that the mountains of Northern Michigan have to offer. We stopped at a diner for dinner and laughed about how similar it was to the good old Station House...we miss it there you know. ha! We made it to NMU by ...

Although not on the official Lake Superior circle tour, Big Bay seems like a good addition except it is a sixty mile dead-end road :). Did not stay here but needed the almighty map-pin... Tidbit: - The twelve volt booster battery is working well -- it has enough juice to process my pictures and write small log files on my PC. It fully recharges again when we hit the road.

... there we crossed into the eastern time zone. So the sun was still high in the sky at eight thirty as we passed through the quiet little cross road towns of the upper peninsula. It was almost spooky. Clusters of cars and trucks around the taverns - but no one was visible outside. It was dark when we got into the Birchmont Motel. Our room overlooks Lake Superior - the world's largest fresh water lake ...

After viewing the farms and trees below, we cross the bridge to the Upper Peninsula. The winds are high today, which has made it a rough ride on the bike, especially on the bridge. There is a toll of $2.50, depending on vehicle size, it may be more. We drive 35 mph across, don't want a close up of the lake, Huron to the right and Michigan to the left. Mackinac Island is visible today as it is sunny. We don't stop in Mackinaw City, we have ...

Exchanged our few remaining Canadian Dollars, claimed our GST (General Sales Tax) Refund, and crossed back into the U.S. at the Sault Ste. Marie crossing. Still driving through Great Lakes Country, so lots of pretty scenery everywhere. Laughed at the sign for "Da UPpers Tourist Trap" (for those of you unfamiliar with the Upper Peninsula (U.P.)of Michigan, the residents are ...

Last morning in Houghton, followed by a trip to the Porkies with my grandma. Visited Lake of the Clouds and then various waterfalls in the park. Lots of fun with photos to follow soon. Ended the day with dinner in Marquette. Now it's time for bed. Night everyone, ~A

... aber nicht wirklich einem eigenen Entry wuerdig ist fuege ich jetzt noch Dinge aus der letzten Woche an zum Beispiel hatten wir Freitag Feueralarm in der Schule, obwohl es erst wie ein Uebungsalarm aussah entpuppte es sich zu einem richtigen Alarm, den ploetzlich kam Rauch von der Decke und das atmen wurde um einiges schwerer. Nachdem wir den schnellsten Weg nach draussen gefunden hatten standen wir erstmal 5 Minuten bis wir die erste Sirene eines ...
