July 11th - Thunder Bay to Sault Ste. Marie

This morning in Thunder Bay we went for a long run along a beautiful path near a small river.  The air was amazing, you could really feel the clean air in your lungs.  Fantastic!!  We stopped just outside of Thunder Bay at the Terry Fox Memorial.  There was just us and one other couple there who did not stay long.  It was a very nice moment.  He still remains an inspiration to so many all these years later.  Then we battled fog along the way for almost the whole day.  It was very unfortunate because I was really looking forward to enjoying the shore of Lake Superior with it's rocky shore line in places.  We came around the corner on the bike just east of Marathon and came across another black bear.   This one was WALKING across the highway and Walter had to come to an almost a complete stop.  It was very cool but only because we had a quick get away!!!  And in Marathon I had put away my camera because I did not want it getting damp from the fog.  Figures.
