The bike/hike

What James did not tell you about our walk was that it started out as a ride. The sign at the trailhead said multi-use and the first part of the trail was flat. So, looking for a nice ride, we got on the helmets and shoes and rode onto the trail. Very shortly into the trail there was a hill, a very rock strewn hill, then another one.  Paul rode ahead to check it out. There was only more of the same. So we rode the bikes back to the trailer and switched the cycling shoes for hiking boots. Good thing too. In places along the trail the hiking boots were the only way to go. 

Paul and I drove into SSM (one book called it "the Sault" another "the Soo" so I'm not sure how the locals refer to it, perhaps it is the middle of a name change like Westshore). We saw the Roberta Bondar pavilion and took a pic for a friend's daughter studying to work at NASA. Also took a picture of the International Bridge. But not much to see. 

Now we are on our way to North Bay tonight.
