Sault Ste. Marie

Another beautiful day and pleasant drive.  Trans-Canada Highway 17 has been a very good road most of the way from Montreal.  One bad stretch today but that area was under reconstruction which is a good thing.  Still a lot of fall tree colors showing even tho most of the timber is pine and fir.  Today there were a lot of lemon yellows showing up and not quite sure just what type of tree that was.  One good thing about this Route 17 is there are several rest area/picnic spots scattered along which give us good places for necessary breaks and lunches.  The all have picnic tables, pit toilets, and bear proof trash cans.

I have noticed a lot of side roads that intersect the main highway are labeled as (ch-name-road) or (chemin-name-road). I just now googled chemin and found it to be French for "pathway".

Obviously tonight's Wifi is good as was yesterdays so at least I will be able to stay connected unlike a couple of nights ago.  Thursday when we leave this campground we will cross back into the US of A and I will be back on my own hotspot wherever we will have an AT&T signal.  We will also be back to some decent fuel pricing.  I have had to fill up twice with liters at over a Canadian dollar each.  Even with a favorable CA to US conversion that is still near $4.00 American per US gallon.
