Monday August 26 ... Pembroke to Sault Ste Marie

Not a lot to report (so I say as I start to write the, but if past posts are anything to go by I will likely find lots to say :)) ...

On Monday morning we left Pembroke headed for Sault Ste Marie.  It was along haul...left at 9 a.m. and got there about 7 p.m.  The weather was warm, temps in low 20's, with periods of light rain and high humidity.  The skies we're alternately cloudy and clear blue sky or blue sky with fluffy white marshmallow clouds. We needed to wear our rubberized rain gear for most of the day in order to keep dry but the result was the creation of our own personal saunas!:). We had one torrential downpour which came out of nowhere and lasted for a few miles and just as we were searching for some place to pull off to wait it out - it stopped.  Mother nature seemed unable to make up her mind!

I did get some pretty scenery photos that I thought I would share...



We passed through areas settled by the Amish people.  Try as I might I could not get a photo of a highway sign that warned drivers to watch for horses and buggies.  I did get a photo of an Amish farm and stooks of what Harry though looked like oats.



We did find one lovely picnic spot a couple of hours outside Sault Ste Marie so enjoyed a picnic supper and were happy for sunshine.




After a reenergizing shower went for a walk along the water (the channel between Lake Superior and Lake Huron) as the boardwalk was right outside our hotel.  Very pretty and lots to see...including some interesting art installations...will let our photos tell the tale...
