Once the ferry docked, we drove though Manitoulin Island to the mainland and followed the shore of the lake westward. This area has some gorgeous scenery, but there aren’t a lot of photos of it, nor is there much I can say about it. We followed single lane roads, thick with green trees on both sides, occasionally interrupted by small ridges of rock. In some areas the trees on our left clear just enough to show the broad blue expanse of lake. About every 150 km we pass through a wide spot in the road with a single vacant filling station and maybe a building that used to house a diner. We put in a lot of hours of driving this day, driving stopping at 10:00 pm in Sault Ste Marie.
