Day 22 -- Lake Superior goes one forever ... and ever


Continuing eastward
Summary:

  • Continue Eastward along Lake Superior ... the largest freshwater lake in the world
  • Distance Traveled: 750 km
  • Time on the Road: 12 hrs
  • Random Oddities Seen: (3)
    • Wawa Goose
    • Huge Dinner Table & Chairs
    • Giant Loonie


Today was a long day on the road ... the first few hours from Thunder Bay were incredibly boring.  Ontario, what's the deal with the 90 km/h speed limit ... on a 4-lane highway?!?!  There were a few scenic stops along the way ... but they were few and far between.

Once I got past the Goose at Wawa, things got a lot better.  

Could this be more Canadian?  Wawa, ON

Shortly after I entered the Lake Superior Provincial Park, I actually saw a moose ... at 2:30 in the afternoon.  Just chilling by the highway.  A semi scared him away before I could get a picture.  Oh well.



I have to say, hearing waves lapping on the shore when I'm in the middle of Ontario is a bit disorienting ... if it wasn't quite so cold out (~ 55℉; an adjustment after my 75℉ degree day yesterday), I could have mistaken this for the Pacific Coast Highway Drive.

I had a good dinner and respite in Sault Ste. Marie ... a brief stroll around town was much needed after my Miuo dinner.
Any idea why there's a giant dinner table and chairs in Sault Ste. Marie?















On my way to my AirBnB for the night, I saw a sign for Echo Bay ... and had to go see the giant Loonie.
