Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, July 22
We took a boat tour of Soo locks and found it very facinating. We locked through with the largest freighter on the great lakes. It was 1,000 ft. long. We could not get it all in the picture. Hugh! The locks consist of two canals and four locks. We rose 21 ft. between Lake Superior and Lake Huron. What a neat experience! And coming back through, we dropped 21 ft. We went over to the Canadian dock and saw the sail boat that was in the movie Mutiny on the Bounty and Pirates of the Carribean. Movie buffs would appreciate that little piece of trivia. Unfortunately, we could not download it on the computer. See you tomorrow, maybe in Wisconsin.

Hi Guys!
ReplyDeleteGood pictures of an old favorite. I did not hear how much chocolate fudge was eaten while you all checked out Mackinac. Or did you all have the ice cream? Eating seemed to be the favorite sport of a lot of the small towns in MI.

Those are great pictures! I've always wanted to go there. I can't wait to see more!
