Brenda at Batchawana on Lake Superior
Went for a walk around the downtown Sault this morning. It seems like a nice town with a lot of history dating back to the 1600's and the time of Champlain. Walked by a historic house where they had some interesting plaques discussing old gardens. one of them discussed the growing of vegetables in threes: corn for carb, beans for protein which grew up the corn and squash, the leaves of which sheltered the ground around the corn and beans and kept the ground moist.
Left the Sault around 10 and started the long drive to Thunder Bay. Originally we were going to just go to Marathon, but once we looked at distances, we decided to go on to Thunder Bay. It was either a long drive today or tomorrow as we wanted to reach Kenora by Sunday night. The drive along the north shore of Lake Superior is very beautiful with lots of vistas from the road and the various parks along the road.
Lots of warnings about moose crossings along the route. Really don't want to run into a moose on the road as they are really big. you might be OK if you hit a deer with some damage to the car, but the moose might kill the car and you if it falls on the car.
As we entered Marathon, we got stopped by an OPP RIDE program at 2 in the afternoon. Obviously people in the north start drinking a little early. After the RIDE stop we stopped for gas, filled up and locked my keys in the truck. Fortunately, the CAA was located about 10 minutes away and we got back on our way.
