Hamburgers for Breakfast and Other Out-Of-The-Norm Things

The Great Lakes temperatures are FREEZING!
Today's destination: Massey Ontario Canada
20 miles west of Sudbury on Highway 17


Day 3: Wednesday  July 23    500  miles from Ashland, WI to Massey, ON through Marquette, Sault Ste Marie. ON (Canada)

It all started with the time change;

• Wisconsin said 6:00am which was really 5:00am home time so by the time we found a place for breakfast it was too late for the breakfast menu....so we had hamburgers for breakfast. 
• Customs into Canada was a long 30 minute wait
• Then.....narrow roads, one lane, maximum speed 55 miles per hour which we rarely hit because the roads were so crowded.  However, we got great gas mileage today!  
• 12 hours in the saddle and only 500 miles to show for it!
• But the scenery was gorgeous; lush trees in between two Great Lakes.
• Car dealerships out in the middle of nowhere....weird!
• 25 towns, population 50 to 100, 30 miles apart

PEOPLE WE MEET
Today's new friend is the owner of STOBIE'S DINER found along the upper shores of Lake Huron.  Super nice guy! He is a motorcycle enthusiast and custom cycle builder. His family settled the valley in the 1800's. Lunch was delicious.
