Ashland WI to Sault Ste Marie MI

It rained a bit overnight but skies were blue this morning, 15C at 7:40. We went to the local market on the way out of town, but maybe it was too early for them. There were only 3 stalls there, nothing we wanted. We had to settle for the last 2 LongJohns to tide us over to a later breakfast.

We did get 2 pasties at a shop in Iron River MI, then shared one at a town park. The pasties were huge, too big for either of us to eat a whole one at a sitting.

We had a good Walmart stop and stretch at Iron Mountain, then lunched on the second pastie at a park beside Lake Superior.

At 5:30 CDT (or EDT?) we pulled in to Brimley State Park, near Sault Ste Marie MI. The air is good and it’s sunny, but we’re both in long pants now, as the breeze off the water is chilly. We got fueled up on the way in, so are all ready to head into Canada early tomorrow.

Hwy 2 was not particularly scenic today. Maybe we should have taken #28 out of Ironwood and up I75 to the Soo.

The Brimley cg was $32 US for a serviced site and free showers, but the washrooms were dated and somewhat grubby. They also had a real jerk on the gate checking people in. The park is a convenient positioning park for a border crossing.
