dexfarkinI have arrived in Northern Ontario, mostly safe and remarkably unsound.
It's been a very very long car trip. Our route is down through Port Huron, up Michigan to Souix Ste Maire, and then over at the locks to the highway and along the North Shore of Lake Superior to Marathon.
About an hour out of Saginaw, we pegged a deer while doing about 120kph. This led to a sudden four foot jump to the left, off the road, into a ditch, and desperately trying to right ourselves and keep from flipping the jeep. Fortunately, my father's been driving this kind of country for a while, and managed to get us righted and stopped without more than a bit of damage.
We decided to stop early that night in the Soo. Below are the locks.
In the morning, we continued along the North Shore to Marathon. Since I promised Rossi pics along the way:
First sight of Lake Superior.
The beach at Pancake Bay.
The lake from a hill outside of Wawa.
Speaking of Wawa, one cannot drop by without stopping to see the goose, a perfect example of the North American fetish of erecting giant vegatables and animals with corporate help as a symbol of civic pride.
Here, the Goose ready to lay waste to his foes.
Gitchigumi herself.
And the harbour itself at Marathon.
