We had a great ride over from North Bay today. Coming across Ontario, it was almost a straight line through forest and farm land to Sault Ste Marie. Due to my outdated map (see previous entry), we didn't realize that the new 17 bypassed Sudbury, so we missed that opportunity. However, it looked like there had been quite a bit of reclamation since we had last been through there. Danny should look up the Dynamic Earth Museum there (www.dyanmicearth.ca). Pretty drive along the north side of Lake Huron. Crossed back into the United States at SSM - huge bridge over the locks which connect Lake Superior to Lake Huron.
Got back into the US and took Michigan 28 west over to Munising and further to Marquette. The drive from Munising to Marquette goes along Lake Superior and the whole area seems to be one long sandy beach.
Lots of people stopped along the highway to swim and enjoy the beach. We had originally planned on driving over to Duluth; however, that turned out to be too long a trek. So we ended up here in Ishpeming. It's an old iron mining area which is now mostly a recreational area.
Not sure what our plans are for tomorrow, but we'll head over toward Fargo, maybe play golf, and arrive in Fargo sometime Tuesday.
joe played golf today at hidden valley after the mix up last monday when golf at hidden valley was cancelled. he had a bad front and a decent back, but he enjoyed the course. we went to the eleganza event on friday and saturday. we arrived at 5 on friday for the first 'hot seat drawing'. We found an unoccupied machine and we were down $120 in 6 minutes (playing slowly). on our last spin, we hit the special for $200. when we didn't get a call for the first hot seat drawing,we hightailed it out of there with our winnings never to return. we did show up for the 8 and 10 o'clock drawings on both friday and saturday but our names did not get called for any of the free play or cash. it was a pretty lame promotion.sadie was there accompanied by pat and rose.
