Radisson Sudbury

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 ...

... per the Streets and Trips directions. When we couldn't find the next road we turned to Jack to get us to the Days Inn. Well, Jack liked the route Streets and Trips had us on so we continued on the narrow obscure roads with tiny one way bridges and railroad crossings with warnings to look before crossing. We even blindly followed him along the gravel road half expecting "Bridge Out" signs. We didn't get one of those but ...

We arrived in Sudbury about 4:30, had supper then visited Brian's parent's graves.

Mom especially liked the unexpected server at the gas station who pumped our gas for us... you don't really get that in the GTA anymore. I find it oddly fascinating that we're at a campsite and there is internet, but hey I don't mind one bit!<br><br>Okay, well its about 11 pm, we're off to bed &amp; up early tomorrow to continue our journey :)

... as a radiation shielding on astronaut's visors and welders helmets lenses. · The tallest smoke stack in Canada is here - 1250 ft. · With all of the miners shift-working 24hrs/day, there wasn't enough locker space in their change room so ALL of the clothes were placed in (or suspended from) a small metal basket that was hoisted to the ceiling where it dried before the next shift.

... serving young person at Science North.  Discovery Theatre's presenter Kyla Corelli has been working there for the past eight years.  And no I don't mean the centre I mean the actual one section of the Discovery Theatre.  Her job is to entertain the children with science experiments in a theatre styled after Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.  She is only 22 years old and told me Science North is where every young person in Sudbury tries to get a job because ...

431 Km Route: Hwy #129S, Hwy #17E The route South on Hwy #129S was a real surprise as wound along the edge of a very interesting river. This road continued to Iron Bridge where he rejoined Hwy #17 East to Blind River where he saw a GL1200 GoldWing at MacDonalds and the owner had the side panels off. It turned out the owner was from Belleville and after some ...
