Lake Superior 1K

[Ole]

Later that evening I did the tourist thing and bought a ticket to go on a boat tour of The Soo Locks. 23$ for two hours. We got to go through the locks. Twice.



went by the campgrounds



and realized I left my tank bag stuck to a Toyota



The hydro power plant. Fisherman were catching rainbow trout right at the discharge area.





Italian masons built it out of local sandstone


Where the state of Michigan trains new boat pilots



we entered the American Locks





we had a steady hand on the wheel



they shut the locks behind us



and soon were the level of Lake Superior



and out the other side we went
Our tour took us under the bridge I rode in to Canada







Here comes a salty









He is heading to the ocean
Our tour went up a canal in to a Sault Ste. Marie Ontario steel mill. 4500 workers make steel 24 hours a day 365 days a year. Huge piles of coke, coal, taconite pellets, and limestone.







We took the smaller Canadian Lock to get back to the boat company dock

It is really small only used for pleasure crafts





Tomorrow I go to Paradise
