Soo Locks at Sault Ste Marie (MI)

Southbound freighter entering the middle US lock

 After a rainy arrival on Wednesday, we got out to the Soo Locks on a beautiful Thursday.  Pretty impressive to see the big freighters go by so close.  Some even shake the campground as they go by.  Nice Soo Locks Visitor Center & park next to the locks.  There's a viewing stand with three levels to watch the locks in operation.  Several tourist traps and restaurants across the street from the locks.  Food's great, but ice cream & fudge are better!

We're staying at the Anne Osborn Campground.  Big rig friendly, water & electric, only, sites with a dump at the south end of the campground.  They do have pump out service.  Lots of rain while we're here, and several sites do pond water.  Best sites are on the river and worth the costs if you can get one.  Most people are here only for a few days before moving on.

We're here until Sunday when we plan to move a little south to St Ignace, MI for a week.  As always, that's the plan.  Everyone have a great weekend!  David
