Day Four - O' Canada...

Yesterday we put on about 220 miles and it was so good to be back on the road with the O'Briens. Today we would travel though Canada to get to Port Huron, Michigan. With the Model A's loaded we headed off for a quick bite to eat and then a quick stop at Mac's Antique Ford parts, which was just down the road. I must admit the facility was very impressive. They had a small "museum" of "T"s in the show room and a very organized parts counter. Dick and I managed to pick up some items we could use on the road. We were then off to Niagara Falls, albeit in a drizzle.

By the time we got to Rainbow Bridge the sun was shining, which we felt was a sign for the day. We crossed over to the Canadian side and marveled at the beauty of the falls.

We didn't spend a lot of time at the Falls as we really wanted to get on the road. We had no preference on a route so we decided to follow the one prepared by AAA. The roads were not primary routes for most traffic and we found them very Model A friendly. The one thing that we did notice again was the constant wind that really made it noisy driving. For the most part we were driving in farm country. The farms seemed to be pretty successful in spite of the fact that their former cash crop - tobacco - is no longer a being produced in any significant quantity.

Our final leg was on Lakeshore drive all the way to the bridge that would take us back to the USA at Port Huron. No surprise the largest homes had the best water views. The biggest problem was the fact that it took us almost two hours to get over the bridge and through customs...Ouch! At least we had a good view of the river from the bridge and could watch the ships pass under us.

We did have reservations at the Hampton Inn and after we enjoyed the Cracker Barrel for dinner we packed it in for the night.

Tomorrow it's off to Ludington to get the ferry to Wisconsin.
