Our favorite store for carvings, about 50 miles North of SSM.
It's near Pancake Bay
Even on a bright day on mid-May a zipped-up jacket was a good idea near the water.

Further North
Rugged landscape.
Cars and trucks are few and far between on the way North. Of the trucks you will see most are carrying huge logs. There is (or was) a paper mill in SSM. Steel working is the main industry there.
There is no shortage of trees in Ontario.
Nor fast-flowing rivers
Nor sandy beaches
Not a soul for miles
There are usually rustic toilets (sheds) at these roadside beach entrances. Some of them ask for a few dollars for visiting-the honor system at work. There is no staff on site.
We had lunch here-our Starbucks sandwiches, chips and some cold cokes from the cooler we carry. We sat at a large picnic bench on the beach. We were about 120 miles North of SSM and it was time to turn around and head back to the hotel. Speed limits are 50 to 55 mph on silky-smooth roads. We were in no hurry anyway as the scenery along the way was pretty.
This beach was Old Woman's Bay
