SCENIC CORNER ROAD TRIP 2008

IF YOU HAVE THE TIME KICK BACK AND ENJOY THE SLIDES. I FOUND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SIT
DOWN AND WRITE ABOUT ALL THE BEAUTIFUL THINGS I SAW SO I DECIDED TO SHOW YOU.

        We started out towards western
Maryland and cut across the south eastern
tip of Pennsylvania. Ohio was next and then
Indiana. I thought Indiana and Illinois were
gorgeous! Crossing Wisconsin was
absolutely spectacular and so was
Minnesota. Started to see more pine trees.
We discovered a park in Wisconsin full of
white pelicans. There were hundreds of
them and 3 quarters of them had a fish
nestled in their beaks. What an awesome
sight they were!!! While crossing Minnesota
we stopped at a little gas station in the
middle of nowhere. Lucky for us it was there
because we would have run out of gas. A
nice little old lady and her husband ran the
station and they had pet deer. We fed the
deer some bits of food she gave us in an ice
cream cone. It was funny too because when
my husband went to give her back the ice
cream cone she said no the deer would eat
it and it did LOL...Well enough of that, then
we headed towards Minneapolis
International Falls where we were to cross
the border the next morning.
   I dreamed of going to Canada ever since I
was a little girl. Never thought I'd have the
money to go. I love it there so much that one
day I hope to live there. The country side is
so very beautiful and the people are all very
friendly. We felt welcome everywhere we
ventured in Canada. We stayed at The Silver
Water Wheel Lodge once we reached Lac
Seul. I caught some amazing fish including a
41" northern pike and received a master
anglers pin from the lodge This is my
second year at the lodge. What a wonderful
place to visit. Everyone is very kind. The
owner and his family, the housekeepers,
cooks, guides, etc make your stay there
worth its weight in gold. They cater to your
every need and aim to please. The meals are
out of this world and the shore lunch is a
special treat. If you ever want to go on a
fishing trip that will most certainly amaze
you then book a stay at The Silver Water
Wheel Lodge. It's a vacation you'll never
forget.
    We decided to take a different route
home around the northern shore of Lake
Superior towards the Border Sault Saint
Marie. Unfortunately, it was pouring down
rain and really foggy most of the trip home
and we didn't get to see much. Though we
intend on traveling that way back to Lac Seul
next time we go.
