Well.............that last post made absolutely no sense without the picture so, here it is. The winers (please note the spelling) showed up for our departure and, we are very appreciative of their efforts. Thanks again!
Here we are 1 week into our journey and NO ADVERSE EVENTS TO REPORT!!! Go figure. Northern Ontario is more beautiful that we remember and, the Sudbury "moonscape" of my last visit (44 or 45 years ago) has been replaced with an amazing "greening". With over a dozen lakes within the city of Sudbury and, the amazing reforestation, Sudbury is a beautiful area. Also, Brenda was able to find occasional work in one of the mines for a few days, which greatly helped with the finances!!
We are now in Sault Ste. Marie, after spending a few days on Manitoulin Island, ready to board the Agawa Canyon train tomorrow and, with a new appreciation for the beauty and solitude of the northern part of our own province. It is truly amazing how this area slows you right down. We spend 2 1/2 hours on the side of the road today due to an horrific accident, which closed the Trans Canada Highway, and neither of us had a noticeable rise in blood pressure. Traffic was very cautious after seeing such a horrible sight. Far too many ambulances!!!
We hope to spend some time on Mackinaw Island after leaving "the Soo" and, have already written off Chicago for Labour Day. We'll get there!! Lots of hiking and too many interesting things to see. Perfect weather with only one overnight rain in Sudbury. Life is good! Best wishes to all.
