Day Two is Done

Well the second day of our trip saw us pass trees, trees, and more trees. But as those who see this blog through its link on facebook or read my status on facebook and twitter know we had an unforseen 'hiccup' in our progress.

Had stopped for coffee this morning at a certain oft frequented place (named after a former hockey player) and just about finished coffee when I noticed a guy closely examining our car. Went out there and found he had accidentally scraped our car with a boat and its trailer. We pleasantly exchanged information about each other - he freely admitted he was responsible.

This 'hiccup' happened in Sudbury.. Found out that community has a unique (at least I did not know it before) system for reporting MV accidents. They have an office (that says it is not part of the police department) that plays the role of a police department in receiving MV accident reports. The staff there were quite pleasant and I imagine if an upset person showed up there, I think the staff would rapidly put them at ease.

Anyways after a two hour delay we motored on...ended up stopping today in Sault Ste Marie - at the easternmost end of Lake Superior.

After yesterday's blog we heard from a friend of our son-in-law. He had surgery yesterday with both good and some worrisome results.... but I remain cautiously optimistic.
