Journal: Thunder Bay to Sault Ste Marie, ON

I wasn't expecting to see Giant Geese!

6.3.2024
Hey hey, it’s my birthday!

My birthday breakfast was the third (and final) Cinnamon Bun from Max’s (purchased 1480 miles ago!) and an overnight-brewed cup of PG Tips tea.

Left Thunder Bay around 8:45. It was a gloomy, drizzly day.

Stopped at a vista point northeast of town with a hazy view of Lake Superior. Michigan’s massive Isle Royale loomed on the horizon, barely visible (and not in this one photo I took):

A circumnavigation of Lake Superior ensued for the rest of the day, alternating between glacial land formations:

Nipigon

and vistas of the lake:

As I made my way southeast, I became in need of a pit stop and a Subway sign advertising “Free WiFi” lured me into Wawa.
OMG.
Much to my delight, there were three GIANT CANADIAN GEESE sculptures!
They were a total surprise, as they are not visible from the highway.

Thanks, Subway!
You’re Meatball Sandwich wasn’t bad either.

One more lake view:

Batchawana Bay

I arrived at the SleepInn in Sault Ste Marie at 5:15.
It was a conventional corporate chain motel, which was welcome after the creepy Thunder Bay experience.

Day 7 complete. 435 miles, about 8.5 hours.
