Greetings from the "SOO"




Good morning to everyone. We arrived at the Soo Locks Campground on Saturday around noon and got our coaches set up and enjoyed watching freighters go up and down the St. Marys River. Later we took the Soo Locks Boat trip down the river , through the locks and back again. What an experience to go through the locks. Larry and I had done this before but it was fun to watch the others enjoy it as none of them had been through locks . The campground sits right on the river so we have a beautiful view of the ships and Canada is right across the river. Today we plan to go to Whitefish Point on Lake Superior which is where the ship Edmond Fitzgerald went down in Nov 1975 I remember waking up to that news on the radio right after we moved to Holland, Mi.

We think we will do lunch at a Casino so Linda and I can check out the "Slots". We have to try to do something since we are paying almost $3.00 a gallon for disel. Janice is our resident restaurant finder. She doesn't ask for a good one she ask the person which is their favorite and she has not steered us wrong yet. Do you get the feeling we all enjoy EATING?
More later, MEM
