Oct. 4 & 5, 2010-Pembroke ON-Grand Manan NB

The last two days of our trek were unremarkable. Weather was OK, getting through Montreal was easier than expected, thanks to Dan, our GPS voice, and the foliage through northern New England was dull, thanks to a hard rain the previous Saturday. No pictures, just text this time. Glad to be home!

Oct. 2, 2010-Ironwood MI - Sault Ste. Marie ON




Yesterday we crossed Minnesota and Wisconsin in the rain, and today we had drizzle and sun off and on. The wind off Lake Superior became quite strong in the afternoon, creating good-sized waves. The foliage was spectacular however, and it was nice to see some oranges and touches of red in addition to the yellow. We are back in Canada tonight in Sault Ste. Marie.....good to be back!

Thurs. Sept. 30 - Moose Jaw - Grand Forks ND




Yet more prairies today, but the "high spots" were going through Rugby, ND, the geographical center of North America, and seeing Devil's Lake, ND, which has been a recent news story on Yahoo. The lake has no outlet, so the water just rises until there is a lack of rain. Right now it is at very high levels because of the heavy rains this summer in the Midwest.

Wed., Sept. 29, 2010 Calgary-Moose Jaw SK


On our way back home today, after a wonderful visit with A, T, and little H. We hope to make it home in 7 days. Lovely, sunny day today for our drive from Calgary to Moose Jaw. More prairies!
