Days 1 to 3

We've been on the road for 3 days now, stopping at Serpent River (Spragge), just west of Sudbury, Neys (just west of Marathon), and tonight close to Kakabeka Falls, just outside Thunder Bay travelling a total of 1,590 Km with some interesting side trips.

Day 1 we stopped for a break at Port Severn, the last lock on the Trent-Severn Waterway as it enters into Lake Huron.

We also stopped at French River Provincial Park, where they have information on the Voyageurs - the French and English explore's/traders that travelled with the help of the native indians, mostly by canoes on various waterways from what is now the St.Lawrence, to the Ottawa River, the Mattawa River, Lake Nipissing and then the French River to the north Channel of Lake Huron, onto Lake Superior, and to Fort William, which is now Thunder Bay.

Day 2 , we travelled along the north channel of Lake Huron to Sault Ste. Marie, where we spent some time walking around the historical buildings and recreational boat locks on the Canadian side, and viewed the US locks for commercial shipping from Whitefish Island

Leaving Sault Ste. Marie, the road along the north shore of Lake Superior took us past Alona Bay- this is where the Edmund Fitzgerald sank in a bad storm back in the seventies and with the pink granite of the Canadian shield, and trees often painted by the group of seven.

The road took us past Wawa, famous for it's large statues of geese, and White River, with it's history of the origins of the bear named Winnie, that became the subject of A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh stories for his son Christopher.

Day 3 we stopped at Aguasabon Falls, just outside Terrace Bay, explored an amethyst mine , and had lunch at Marie Louise Lake with a view of the Sleeping Giant.  This was followed by a quick  bit of history (video) at Fort William, 15 minutes before it closed.
