Holiday Inn Sault Ste. Marie-Waterfront, O Sault Ste. Marie

... been given some money by my folks back home to spend on an excusion, we decieded to invest this in an 8 hour tour on the Agawa Canyon railway tour. This was to leave the following morning at 8am from the station near the harbour. We booked our tickets and went to bed early in prepartion for our early departure the next day.

At the station we gathered with the other passengers at 7.30am, all bustling to get the best window seats available. The average age ...

... Beach (in the Hilton Beach Inn). There's a marina here, and a nice view of it from our room.

We got some champagne, to celebrate the end of my big journey (about 5,000km from Vancouver), and the end of Shawn's even longer journey (from Ottawa, circum-navigating the continental US and Canada to return back to Ottawa tomorrow after about 17,000km of travel).

Hope to see you all soon! It's been a blast!

Be Good.

Stopped for lunch just out side of Sault Ste. Marie, which happened to be a historical landmark. Why? Well, it was the middle point of the Trans Canada Hwy, between St. John's, Newfoundland and Victoria, BC!

Right on the Chippewa River... we took some pictures after lunch & went on our merry way.

We re-entered the USA this afternoon, we were worried about the reception we would get from homeland security, but after a couple of questions, he handed the passports back and sent us on our way, we both hope that this will be a pattern for the future. We crossed into the US so we could  camp on the edge of the Sault Sainte Marie locks, or as the locals say the "Soo locks". There are two RV parks in town and we choose the ...

Hi,
We had a really scenic drive around Lake Superior today. We were suprised that a lot of it had really great views of the lake and the highway was quiet today. We had lunch on the beach at Terrace Bay which was nice because we were the only ones there. We had a little rain today which was ok because it washed the huge ...

This was one of those dreams straight out of high school geography lessons It was really cold and we knew we would have to encounter heavy snow rest of the way but what the hellSometimes you never grow out of these little dreams much as you have come to realize there are bigger better things out there.Great feeling!!!

There were good facilities and plenty of wooded areas, there were also really brilliant wood peckers too (they moved much too fast to be photographed using my camera). Looking it up on the web I believe they are the Pileated woodpeckers and resemble "Woody the woodpecker" That's about all, tomorrow I head into the USA!
