Too many places to list.

While in New York we visited with Seth and Kayanne and then traveled from my brothers place, north to Canada. We passsed the waters of the 5 Great lakes spending time on Lake Ontario, Lake Huron and Lake Superior. We Drove to Lake Ontario and had lunch and then continued driving until we reached the bruce penninsula. We spent the night there and woke up for a sunrise cruise (Ferry Ride) on the MS Chi-Cheemaun across Lake Huron.
Chi-Cheemaun means big canoe in the local tribal language. The front part of the "canoe" actualy opens up to allow vehicles to drive on.
Afterwards we spent the rest of the day exploring Manitoulin Island(the largest island within a fresh water lake) by foot and kayak.















The next day we drove off the island towards Lake Superior(largest fresh water lake by surface area in the world). Then we explored the Pictured Rock National Lakeshore by foot and almost by kayak but the waves were at 3-4 feet crashing against the rocks so we turned back and took the 38 mile, 2.5 hour sunset cruise to see them instead.







The next place we visited was the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. It was very similiar to Pictured Rocks but the waves were again 3-4 feet crashing against the rocks. We did take a hike along the rim which had random drop offs into the lake. We saw some kayakers but they had all decided to turn back.
