8100km in Thunder Bay

The Pine Valley restaurant and service station in Griffith was standing room only, and the menu was Jigs dinner. Can't go wrong. Great folks in there, that's for sure. They even brought out the air compressor to top up our tires.
Yesterday morning we hit the road for a night off in Sault St Marie, only a mere 9 hours away. Found ourselves a hotel room and a pub. Opened a bottle of new brunswick homebrew wine, played some 9 ball, and made it up this morning for the continental breakfast. Today is a 2 banana day. Today is also an 8 hour drive day to Thunder Bay. Just stopped into a brand new Tim's and we're now an hour away. Today's drive included: 524km on one road, some flurries, a family of lakes (dad, mom, and baby lake), a lot of rock, a lot of trees.
