Return to the USA

We've returned to the USA

Saturday August 20 2016

Just like the highway west of Ottawa, today's drive was mostly through mile after mile of forest. The endless evergreen covered rolling hills where occasionally broken by the appearance of a lake. It was only when you got close to a town that you would see a few houses or businesses.

We exchanged our Canadian currency at the border before getting in line for customs. Contrary to the stereotypical no nonsense American border guard, our agent was pleasant and professional. We were on our way in short order and soon found a campground for the night.

Soo Campground

We are camped at Soo Campground located on the St Mary's river in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan. We are just down the shore from the corp of engineer locks. From our campsite we can look out the windshield and see the huge ore carrying ships as they prepare to enter the locks.

Our Verizon phones and wireless router started working again as soon as we crossed the border.
