Land of the Trolls
It was cold this morning in Sault Ste. Marie. A welcome
change! We were expecting a lot of cold weather during our trip, but the near record
high temperatures have been following us since our arrival in Michigan. The
cold arrived Sunday and has pushed into Lower Michigan.
Our accommodations in Sault Ste. Marie were somewhat cramped
but we chose them in order in be in the downtown area where we could walk to
attractions and restaurants.

We stopped on the way out of town for one last picture of
the St. Marys River and the islands near Mission Point.

Our first view of Lake Huron was in De Tour Village which
lies at the mouth of the St Marys River. This is also an area where large
amounts of limestone are mined for use in the steel industry. There are three
loading facilities frequented by the freighters.

We crossed the Mackinac Bridge just after 1 PM, back into
the land of the Trolls.

We found this nice rest stop near Raber, MI. Parking was at a premium and the line was long.
