Crossing the border... again.



We continued travelling on highway 17 to Sault Ste. Marie in preparation for our entry into the U.S. We parked in a Mall parking lot so we could walk back to the last Tim Horton’s we would see until we are back in Canada. I think the picture we took of the coach in the parking lot is the first one with the car attached.

After filling up at Timmy’s we crossed the bridge into the States. There was a freighter going through the locks between Lake Superior and Lake Michigan so Lise took a picture from the bridge. It took about a half an hour to get through the line up at Customs. We had to give up a bunch of Clementine oranges we had forgotten were in the fridge. Oh well – we bought more at our first Wal Mart stop.

It was still early (about 11:30 a.m.), and the weather was nice, so we continued driving to see how far we could get before calling it a day. The roads were much better than the previous day. We travelled on Hwy. 28 to Marquette in the State of Michigan, on the southeast side of Lake Superior. We spent the night in the Wal Mart parking lot. We travelled 330 miles today.
