Like the previous days before leaving town we have a look around for a few hours to quickly take in some of the local sights. Water is always a big attraction for me so off to the waterfront we go. And what do I find? A lighthouse of course. We’re seeing a lot of lighthouses Read More …
Day 2 – Thunder Bay to Sault Ste. Marie Today’s drive highlight is to visit Richards Landing on St. Joseph’s Island and Sudbury, the city of two of my childhood homes. But 1st we need to checkout of the hotel. Checkout is not a problem it’s the packout that is more of an issue. It Read More …
The day in pictures, sort of. Pick up a Persian. Checked out the view from a lookout tower. Saw a lighthouse. A sunny drive until around noon. Then it clouded over and snowed pretty steady into Sault Ste. Marie. Saw some geese. Checked in at the hotel (nice) and went to a recommended Indian resturaunt Read More …
On the road by about 9:39am. A bit of a surprise start as we’re driving in a bit of a snow squall off and on all the way to Kenora. Pretty uneventful drive except for a couple of deer running across the road, thankfully I spotted them well in advance and just slowed a bit Read More …

Chicago – great city to visit and still several FLW sites we’ve not seen (yet!). Things Read More …
We’re on the run for home now. You know how it is when the road trip is coming to and end and your looking forward to returning to the comforts of home. It’s a 7hr drive with a few gas, restaurant and shopping stops, but basically “boogie to the border”. Crossing back to Canada is Read More …
Day 9: Mackinaw City to Duluth. It’s still rainy and windy as we leave Mackinaw City over the bridge and on to the southern shore of Lake Superior. As we cross the bridge you can see Mackinaw Island in the distance and I’m remembering the trip my parents took me on to New York, NY Read More …
