We left Sault Sainte Marie, Canada on the 30th of August, and drove across the bridge into the US at Sault Sainte Marie. Here are pictures from the bridge and the US Customs booths. .

 

Tuesday, 09/01, We watched this freighter heading down river in front of the Aune-Osborn Campground first thing in the morning. .  After lunch we drove in to town in order to take the 1:30pm Soo Locks Boat Tour. . We saw another freighter going up river. . This is our little tour boat. . We headed towards the American side locks. . Along the way, we saw this Fake Lighthouse. . On the up-river side of the locks, we went by the Canadian Algoma Steel Mill and its piles of Taconite, etc. . The tour took us back down-river through the old Canadian side lock. .

 

In the afternoon of 09/02 we went to both the Soo Lock’s Visitor Center and the Sault Ste. Marie Farmer's Market.  In The Visitor Center we saw “Two Ships Passing in The Daytime” through the locks..

 

Today, 09/03, we moved south across the Mackinac Bridge to Whispering Pines RV Resort in Mancelona, MI. We will be for the Labor Day weekend. Of course we will find some lighthouses and shop at our first Sam’s Club since California.

 

Hugs, and Type at You Later.
