Sault St. Marie is the place to be

Thunder Bay? No thanks. We skipped right on by and burned the midnight oil to get to Sault St. Marie, Ontario last night. Actually we were 60km from it. We slept in our car, using the rubbermaid bins in the back as a platform with our thermarests on top. It's a pretty sweet setup. We stayed on a side road near a boat launch with a waterfront view.

Ontario is a very nice change from the flat plains we've been driving through. It's full of lakes and trees. We were hoping to see some moose but nothing yet. The weather here is so hot we wore tanks, shorts and sandals all day and walked along the river walkway. We actually had to walk in the shade for a bit to take a break from the heat. This small town has a lot to offer with natual food stores, scenery, hills and water. We're staying in a hotel tonight as a treat and heading for Montreal tomorrow morning.

On the way here we ran into 3 guys from BC who were also travelling across to New York. We had a nice chat with them at a pit stop. We don't see very many cars from BC driving the roads.. in fact I have only seen that one so far!

Claudine, here we come!
