mile 11663

We continued our way along the shores of Lake Superior to Sault Ste. Marie with the intend to stay there for some days and explore the surroundings, as we liked very much the country riding towards it. Along the way we visited nice beach places like Pancake Beach or Agawa Rock, and the shoreline and adjacent lakes really called for a longer stay.  So we settled down on a nice camp site in Sault Ste. Marie, went for a swim,  and made it an easy afternoon and leisure evening.  Today we explored the town and after about an hour we were through town and didn't find anything worth to explore in more detail (not to say Sault Ste. Marie has no attractions, but none which attracted us) so we drove a little headless around until we decided to venture on East.  Camp was broken down quickly (also because some dark clouds had moved in and rain was in the forecast) and shortly after lunch the bike was packed and we were rolling again.  A wise decision as it turned out, as we left the rain behind us and drove into sunshine.  We continued Hwy 17 East, then turned South on to Hwy 69 toward Toronto.  Once again this brought us through beautiful countryside with nice forests and idyllic lakes, and we both were happy that we left.  Camp was found in Parry Sound and after all, the day turned out all in all as a good one.

Guess who??  After nearly 12,000 miles carrying the hammock, it finally came to use
