Ontario, Canada - August 29

We are Beaconing again in Canada. Check out where we are!!!


This part of our trip has been very uninteresting and boring. FLAT and lots of wind. We crossed into Minnesota and were able to see Lake Superior. Very blue. We crossed over the Mississippi River again and again found a casino with electric to stay overnight at. This time I lost $ 2.00. I should have gone for dessert again. We were so glad to have electric because it has gotten very hot and we were glad to be plugged in with A/C.
Saturday we pushed on another 350+ miles. We did see 5 Turkeys on the side of the road.  Wildlife again. Lots of lakes and every time we pass one I am still looking for Moose or Bears. At 8:26 AM we crossed into Michigan.  At 2:45 PM we hit 13,000 miles. At 4:15 we crossed the border into Canada again at Sault Sant Marie. Then we went to get gas and it was $ 4.16 / gal as opposed to the $ 2.80/gal  we paid the day before in Wisconsin.  We spent last night in a Community Park in Bruce Mines. Pretty rinky dink and the showers were gross so we didn't even use them.

But today we had a tail wind and made it to Huntsville, Ontario. Tomorrow we are meeting with another friend of mine who I have known since kindergarden at the age of 5. I haven't seen Gale in 6 - 7 years and the last time I was at her family's camp  was 26 years ago. We are only about 30 miles away so we will be there mid morning tomorrow. We plan on staying until Friday when we will head back down to the states.  We also look forward to NOT driving  for 4 days. Hopefully we will have some photos to share  shortly.
