Just Down The Road

25 miles was all we moved today from Brimley to Sault Ste. Marie.  Sault is French for rapids, and  the Soo, as it is commonly called is home to the famous locks that transverse these rapids on the Saint Mary River which connects Lake Superior to Lake Huron.  For some reason instead of taking us the simple way east then north around downtown, the GPS took us north then east right through the heart of the city  

and across two bridges

before we finally reached Aune-Osborne Campground.  The campground sits between Riverside Drive and St Mary's River.  We are facing south with the river behind us on the north.

From the west end of the park east across the park

west to the adjacent boat launch

curved east along the river.  Some old man was sitting there across from Sault Ste Marie, Canada, with nothing better to do than watch the gulls,

the Canadian mapleleaf flying in the chilly breeze,

boats speeding up and down the river,

and big ships coming in.

Tomorrow we get the truck's oil changed, do laundry and buy groceries.

We'll go the quick way tomorrow.
