Day 27: From the Soo to the Bay

Day 27 was a long day of driving from Sault Ste. Marie to Thunder Bay. The journey was over 700 kilometres. We left at 9:00 a.m., stopping at the Panorama Amethyst Mine, the largest in North America, and arrived in Thunder Bay at about 6:30 p.m. As long as it was, the drive was enjoyable since the weather was so nice and there were many vistas of Lake Superior. During our trip east, the weather was so bad that the views weren't anything to speak of. The kids all enjoyed their visit to the mine and bought some Amethyst for themselves. We got in to the Travelodge Thunder Bay, had a swim and dinner, and now we are settling in for the night. Tomorrow is another long day of driving from Thunder Bay to Winnipeg.
