Hey Stephen-
I just joined the list, so if Joy already forwarded
this to you since I wasn't a member when I originally
wrote it, this is a duplicate!
My friend Joy forwarded the email to me about your
planned trip- I live in the UP just a block off Lake
Superior, and have some ideas for you.
I did the Circle Tour several years ago, and really
enjoyed it. In Canada I mostly stayed at Provincial
Parks (like our State Parks) and found them to be
clean, and the people nice and helpful. If you want
info about the parks, go to www.OntarioParks.com. I
would suggest a day or two in Sault Ste Marie- lots of
history here, the Soo Locks are a really interesting
and it is fun to watch a Great Lakes freighter go thru
them. You get to see the boats up close and it is
truly amazing how BIG they are! A bit west of the Soo
and Brimley is the Iroqois Point Lighthouse- a small
musuem and you can climb to the top of the tower for a
great view. Further west at Whitefish Point is the
lighthouse, that is where the Edmund Fitzgerald went
down in the 70's. They have a great shipwreck musuem
there, and you can tour the keepers house. Tahquamenon
Falls is near there, there is a nice campground in the
State Park, and hiking trails. I would be glad to send
you some brochures if you want to send me your
address. I can get the Circle Tour Guide Book for you
too, which has lots of info about places all around
the lake.
I am putting my house up for sale in April, moving
into my 83 Westy full-time and going on a wander as
soon as it sells. If I am still here, I would be glad
to provide a place to park for a day or so if you
want. I have access to the beach here, and it is
usually warm enuf in August for swimming.
Let me know if I can help.
Barb
