We had a good nights sleep in the hospital last night (see previous post, it's confusing). Sudbury is famous for it's nickel mine which they discovered in the late 1800's when the railroad came through and dug up the mineral. There is a gigantic smoke stack, second biggest in the western hemisphere, which we think we have identified, but is about to be torn down. They also have an Eiffel Tower. We then found the Science Center I worked at for a week back in the 1980's and it's still there. I doubt my renewable energy exhibit still exists after 35 or more years, but it was closed anyway.
We found a Tim Horton's for a meatless breakfast sandwich (can't swing a cat without hitting a Tim Horton's) and got coffee and tea (we both said Tim Horton makes really good coffee and tea), and tried a vegan breakfast sandwich (Impossible Sausage?) and they were also pretty ok. Maybe this plant based protein thing will take over some day after all?
Then 2 hours to Sault Ste. Marie and across the boarder. A little confusion about the Arizona plate on the back and the "We Are Vermont Strong" plate on the front, but we got through with no problem. We stopped at the Soo Locks for an hour and walked the tourist shops and watched a big freighter come in to the Poe lock (the bigger one). Then Rt 28 across upper Michigan. They call themselves "Yoopers" here for Upper Michiganders I guess. Long straigh drive through norther Maine type forests and final stop was in Munising MI, a small town right on the shore of Lake Superior. We checked in and drove downtown, parked and did a walking tour of the town. We got white fish for dinner and walked around the docks and another loop through town. Tomorrow Deb has us on a boat ride along the shore.
