Title: Sep 28, 2004

September 28, 2004 -
Spend the day in and around Thunder Bay. On the way into town stopped by the Terry Fox Memorial - which overlooks Lake Superior - very picturesque if it wasn't for the highway right below.
We then headed into town for some shopping and to do some exploring. Thunder Bay has some really nice old buildings - but there seems to be neither rhyme nor reason as to how they are used or restored. You will have a grand old building being allowed to decay fall down - beside a little shanty - which houses a business.
We spent the afternoon at Sleeping Giant Provincial Park on a peninsula outside of Thunder Bay. Drove through a little town of Silver Islet (old mine and fishing town) - that was full of quaint little cottages along a narrow windy single lane road (good thing we left the motor home behind). Did about a 5 km walk around a habitat trail that was not well maintained - but interesting and was good for the exercise. Lot's of time for Pat to get his artsy pictures.
Back to Dawn and Wendy's for a great supper and visit...
