August 21 - Sudbury, ON

Odometer 21834.3

We stayed about 125 miles west of Sault Ste. Marie, and heading there we were traveling between Lake Superior and Lake Huron. After arriving in the town, we toured the US Sault Canal docks, walked the tourist district, and enjoyed a huge ice cream cone as we were leaving. Crossed the International Bridge to the Canadian Sault canals. We did a 1.5 km walk around St. Mary's Island, which they used to build the lock. The walk had beautiful wildflowers, walked under the International bridge, and by the last remaining Swinging Bridge Emergency Spillway Lock in the world ( and yes, they do swing it twice a year).

Left Sault Ste. Marie and hit our first rain. It continued most of the way to Sudbury, where we are spending the night. It is still sprinkling.
