SUDDENLY SAULT STE MARIE

THE VOYAGUERS' LODGE
AND
COOKHOUSE


 Kate and I would like to come here to do some cross country skiing.
If one starts driving or even cycling the Trans Canada Highway from Victoria, British Columbia to Cape Spear, Newfoundland, the half way point is 53 K's north of Sault Ste Marie.
BIG COUNTRY

I believe it might be three years ago that Kristen sent Hyla this map with this idea of cycling across
CANADA


 When I left this morning a guy told me that there was only one hill to SSM. That was about three of these ago.

Mama told me there'd be days like this
But I ain't never ever think there'd be a day like this (Naw!)
Not now not ever, and now until forever you will never need another.


 Thanks to the gals and guys at the MTO, I only weigh my bike like I weigh myself, when I'll get a reading that I'll know I'll like.

 YA BABY!!!!
Riding empty.
Allowable 76lbs. I probably was 20lbs plus the first couple of days..




 Your riding the good ride when you don't see a stoplight for about 700k's.

Good grief, clear the chickens off the runway, 
perfect timing for a movie and snack.


Please stay tuned for some more cross Canada action courtesy of the Escape cam
your questing e-nemy

Reading departure signs in some big airport
Reminds me of the places I've been
Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure
Makes me want to go back again

A SUPERIOR CYCLING TOUR

MONTREAL RIVER HARBOUR to  BATCHAWANA BAY

With the girls gone ahead, I'm adding a extra day before The Sault.

 Looking back to The Twilight Resort and The Montreal River.

 Whitefish Bay, Ontario, CANADA

 The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
of the big lake they called "Gitche Gumee."
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
when the skies of November turn gloomy.
With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty,
that good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
when the "Gales of November" came early.
Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
in the rooms of her ice-water mansion.
Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams;
the islands and bays are for sportsmen.
And farther below Lake Ontario
takes in what Lake Erie can send her,
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
with the Gales of November remembered.







 RUN BESIDE A FOREST,
RUN



 Riding the good ride.

 Not sorry that I missed the party. 
Here is where Hyla, Kristen, Ryan, Christa and the Tour du Canada gang spent the night.

 Out of the Provincial Park and back to.....
Where's the go-cart track?


In striking distance of SSM for tomorrow, I'm going to start looking for a place to spend the night.
