New England/Canada/Michigan Tour: Day Eight

I forgot to attach one picture yesterday; it is the Trans Canada Highway from Bob’s perspective:

Not a lot to see; it’s a tree-tunnel through the tundra. This morning it was 55 degrees with mist in the air.  We traveled 200 miles to Sault Ste. Marie with a nice stop along the way at a Tim Horton for sweet rolls and coffee (decaf for Bob).

The weather turned sunny and warm at the locks at Soo.  It was great fun again to see the ships go through the locks:

Oh, by the way, here is what Bob did at the Lock:

For some reason I was tired all day today.  Getting up before 7:00 AM really sucks; I stayed up late last night with a great novel by Joel C. Rosenberg (spy thriller stuff). Oh well.  Good nap. Nice locks. Lunch, then ice cream; what more could you ask?

Fifty miles to the big bridge; $4.00 toll; high winds; hairy crossing; just as you get use to leaning into the wind you get behind a tower and nearly fall over from lack of wind; then past the tower it hits you again.  RV’s were warned to go 20 MPH because of the wind; 18 wheelers were going slowly as well.  We made it safely.  Then on to Petoskey for the night.  Andy is getting really good at talking the price of a room down.  Bob did it last night and saved $30; Andy saved $50 tonight; it’s a contest!
