For the first time on this adventure the time change got me. My internal clock failed me by an hour. So we hit the road a little later than usual.
Unlike yesterday, the drive up and around Lake Superior was quite scenic. It does not matter how many times we drive through the area we are impressed every time. The road conditions varied today. We faced roads that were snow packed, to icy, to slushy, to wet, to dry. The sun shone at times and at other times it snowed hard with blowing snow greeting us as well. But the panoramic views of Lake Superior more than made up for the 'iffy' driving conditions. We made it to Sault Ste. Marie where we are staying at a Comfort Inn. And yes Neil we saw your 'landfill' sign or was that a 'scenic route' sign?
Just an 'update' on our bicycles. Last week I posted that there had been a bit of a 'mix up' or should I say a 'very large screw up' with the shipping of our bikes by the San Diego Bike Shop. We have some positive information to now pass along. After several attmepts to get in touch with them by email to confirm the shipping destination, cost etc., and then contacting them by telephone on 4 different occasions, I finally 'blew my stack' at the owner and mysteriously they were shipped that very day. So now they are in the hands of Fed Ex and are on their way to Port Huron. It is incredulous that his bike shop is the only place in the world that cannot recieve an email from us. Enough for now...every time I think or talk about the bicycle shop my 'blood boils'. So on the bicycle shipping front...progress has been made.
