Mackinaw City/Sault Ste. Marie

Had another jam-packed adventurous day!  We headed even further north... to Mackinaw City and Sault Sainte Marie!  When we got to Mackinaw it was so foggy we couldn't see the bridge!  We stopped in town and visited the United States Coast Guard Icebreaker, Mackinaw.

When we arrived in the Soo we went to the locks to look around, then we took a boat tour of the locks.  We ate dinner at Antler's... you'll understand why it's called that when you see the dining room pictures!  We ended the day by going back to the locks to watch a lake freighter lock through.
