G - Reporting
Decided on a slower paced day today so 1st stop was St Josephs Island where at one time the fort here was the most western outpost of the British Empire and was used as the base for one of the 1st attacks on the Americans in the war of 1812 it was later burned down by the Americans in what appears to be an act of spite as it was not manned at the time!
It was then on to Sault Sainte Marie a city that really doesn't live up to its rather exotic sounding name being basically an industrial town, but we visited the Historic locks there and had an informative hour or so looking around before fueling up (human and truck) and camping 30km or so north of the city.
