Thunder Bay

Breakfast at the hotel in Sault Ste Marie was as drab as everything else, so we were more than happy to be on our way. The target for the day was Thunder Bay, Ontario. Distances in Canada are vast, meaning we'd be driving all day and would still be in Ontario. This despite starting about halfway between the east and west borders of the province!

We drove along the north shore of Lake Superior, which is beautiful country. We had to deal with some rather thick fog along the way, which slowed us down some. We made a stop at Wawa to see the Magpie High Falls and also the world's largest goose statue. It was a good stretch-your-legs and walk a bit stop.

We then drove on to Terrace Bay, where we had "linner" at the Drifters. This turned out to be quite good! We wanted to check out Aguasabon Falls, which is just outside the town and provided us with some good hiking and gorgeous views.

Then it was on to Thunder Bay, where we would spend two nights. Our accommodation was the Courthouse Hotel, which, as the name would imply, is an old courthouse converted to a hotel. More on that in tomorrow's footprint.Read more
