Day 2 - Sudbury to Thunder Bay

I do like travelling but it is definitely tiring.  We were up early and ready to leave the hotel in Sudbury before 7:00.  Ron started off driving since it was still dark.  

As it started to brighten up, fog hung over the trees and in the fields.  

There were still lots of maple trees which caused our journey to continue to be what we were looking for.

We stopped in Sault Ste Marie later in the morning for gas and picked up lunch.  I took over the wheel as we drove along Lake Superior.  The shoreline was gorgeous.  

The slightly curvy road around huge rocks along the lake gave us another beautiful day of scenery. We stopped to eat our sandwiches at a nice lookout.

We stopped in Wawa to take a picture of the goose. Fun fact… the goose is 60 years old and is made of steel.  I happen to be half Steele and am also 60 years old and have been called a silly goose. 

We continued down the highway and were getting a little tired but our goal was to get to Thunder Bay.  As our exhaustion settled in, our minds turned to Terry Fox who had to stop his journey in Thunder Bay in 1981.  

By the time that Terry had arrived in Thunder Bay, he had run 5,324 kilometres.  This young man died at age 22 but his desire to raise money for cancer continues to this day.  

Before we left the trailer, the kids were doing the Terry Fox Run at school.  Emma had read to us the information that she knew about Terry Fox. His run started and ended before Ron and I were even married and now our grandchildren know about his Marathon of Hope.  

We finally rolled into our hotel and ordered a pizza for a late supper.  Time to sleep and get ready for another day of travel.
