Driving to Calgary (Thunder Bay to Sault Ste. Marie)

Today was a pretty tiring drive. Tiring yes, but at least this time it was not foggy like the outbound trip to Calgary. We can actually take in some of the beautiful lookouts of Lake Superior. Unfortunately, the nice scenery did not shorten the long trip. It felt forever before we arrived at Sault Ste. Marie.

However, as we get closer to Sault Ste. Marie, the trees begin to catch the autumn fires! The red orangey colours were pretty spectacular and wide spread.

I also miss the Supercharger stations in the prairies and Alberta. They were always close to a Walmart or a Tim Horton’s. The Supercharger stations in Ontario are in the middle of nowhere. Sometimes a washroom is hard to find around the station. The gas stations wants you to be a customer, so I just offer to by a $5 LottoMax ticket. Perhaps this washroom tax will have some anti-karma, lucky benefits.

Tonight we stuck with something simple, like Subway for dinner. We did get a chance to walk around the local mall called Station Mall. The pandemic really hit this city hard. The mall only had about 50% occupancy. Poor Sault Ste. Marie!

I got a double scoop Laura Secord ice cream cone while Carol got some New York Fries for some added dinner snacks.
