Oct. 8

We’ve had a day surrounded by God’s golden paintbrush. Mile after mile of fall colors based in the deep gleaming blue of Lake Superior, as you can see by our pictures. My little camera has done its best.

Tonight we’ve settled into the Best Northern Motel – our first real motel on this journey. I miss the swimming pool that seems to help the stiffness and aches and pains arising from a day in the car. Other than that First Northern is great. It’s tucked into a stand of evergreens a little back from the highway, which is very nice and reasonably quiet. Lake Michipicoten is just 2 km. away, a nice walk.

After a delicious supper in the motel’s restaurant, we took the car as far as Silver Falls because the sun was setting and the air had become quite chilly. The little falls is lovely. Tonight we give God thanks for the beauty of creation. Tomorrow is a new day, and a short journey to Sault Ste Marie. We will soon be home.
