Construction was today's theme. Relatively minor construction started before we were really out of the park, followed by some major blasting on Hwy 559 back out to the main highway (400/69):

This looked like a neat way to haul various sizes of pipe in one load:
There's quite a bit of construction between Sudbury and Sault Ste Marie:
Usually these were well-managed, but it was a tiring drive today, even with the fine day and a nice break in Blind River:
It was a relief to get to the Soo for the night. We'll be parking at the usual Walmart here, but first took advantage of the Tuesday special at a nearby Swiss Chalet for a couple of quarter chicken dinners.
Oh yes, the power did come back on before bedtime last evening, maybe about 6:30ish.
It's hard to imagine that we often did this trip that now takes us two travel days, all in one day in years gone by. Sigh...
Good to take it a bit slower. Hopefully there will be less construction tomorrow.
