SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2013

And they're off  - it's Rubberband in the stretch!!!

Robbie's riding shotgun. 

Good sunny (but chilly) morning. It's 10C or 50F. Mark and Julie started their trek home to Eustis, Florida at 7:50 a.m. The power tripped at Anicinanbe at 6:30 and woke us. Since we were up, we might. as well go. 

The Sioux Narrows bridge was built in 1938 of Douglas fir, an all wooden truss bridge. It is an Ontario Heritage Site and the longest single-span bridge in North America. 

Sue and Wayne are delayed with a battery issue and are waiting for service Monday. John Gale sent a mechanic over and changed the breaker. But, it's more complicated than that. :-/

Mark and Julie cleared Customs in 8 minutes flat. No problems and are back in the land of cheap booze and fuel. LOL

At 1:20 we paid $110 for diesel at ICO in Cotton. It was a good stop ... Mark didn't have to prepay and it was $50 less than the Canada fillup. 

Sue and Wayne have John Gale's mechanic busy at their bus replacing a burnt wire. Hope they will be traveling soon. Meanwhile, we are stopping at  Log Cabin Resort in Trego Wisconsin for the night due to rain, and it's nearly happy hour. 

Last evening's wedding social was fun. Here are a few photos.
