... 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 ...

... and were playing ultimate frisbee by 11. Ultimate frisbee is usually too crazy for me, and i'm never good enough to keep up with the boys...or even the girls for that fact, but it was fun. Brian and I were both exhausted afterward. We aren't used to the night life of those stinkin' college kids. We explored Marquette on Thursday and I borrowed Minkus' bike and later that day we slacklined with ...

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...

We figured we'd move on rather than frustrate ourselves looking for accommodations at a popular destination so late in the day. It was four o'clock and the cars were streaming in as we drove out of town. This is an area we will have to come back to. Pasty Virgins We called ahead to Marquette ...

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 ...

... and went for a drive to Houghton, where Greg's alma mater, Michigan Tech, is located. Timing being everything, we discovered that we were one day early for their All-Class Alumni Reunion Pasty Picnic...but it was fun exploring the campus. We stopped at The Library (a bar and restaurant in which Greg had spent many hours "studying"!) for a drink. Pictures will be uploaded soon...

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

... Ruecken das tat schon weh aber das tolle kommt erst nochda die Piste so vereist war rutschte ich noch einige Meter die Piste hinunter, dabei rutschte meine Jacke hoch und gab meinen Ruecken frei, nun ist er ein bisschen zerkratzt und leicht gereizt, aber wenn ich nicht gerade dusche dann spuere ich keinen Schmerz und da ich normalerweise nicht den ganzen Tag dusche habe ich keine Probleme mit meinem Ruecken.
