July 25th :-Soo to Wawa

Back on the road again….pretty excited about getting a sighting of Lake Superior today…..as we drive up the east shore. We are also starting to drive into some smokieness…….a very distinct hazieness from the wildfires.

Yes I did check the map…there are no travel warnings or anything close to the road…just some air quality advisories.

Now…just north of the Soo…we started to get in to a bit more smoke…and a lot more grades…!!

The Trans Canada…other side of the Soo…is a collection of 6% and 7% grade inclines and declines……with lots of winding curves thrown in there for good measure…..a hairy drive for sure……the engine was working just as hard on the way down as up…..in an effort not to have the trailer crush us……..or at least thats how it felt a lot of the time….and I wasn’t even driving…!!!

Then we started picking up bits of the shoreline……pictures just cannot do it justice….it is a sight to behold…!!!

As you travel this section of Trans -Canada…the road has been blasted through many many rock formations…which results n these massive stone gateways that you pass through…..time and time again……never gets old……

As we passed through one of the many first nation reserves along this path……Agawa presented us with a stop…with parking spots for bigger rigs….we parked next to one that made us feel quite tiny…!!!

we were not quite sure…as they pulled out ….that they were going to make the corner without wiping us out……..they did…!!!

Lake Superior….more pix of the East shore from the truck….

It is a truly spectacular drive…many Wows were uttered……I have to admit ..I shut my eyes on some of the hills…!!!!

227 kms to Wawa……….

…and then there was Wawa………
