Return, Day 5: Ontario to Sault Ste Marie, MI
... again. More beauty, more fall color, more wildlife. At some point, traffic in all 4 lanes (2 in each direction) suddenly braked as a family of 4 raccoons decided to cross the road... a mama and her 3 young coons... but the one in the rear got stage fright, as we all sat there and watched them... and he turned back, hesitantly... looking at us, looking at his family.
