Wow! What a great ride today.
MrsEchoBay and I met Professore, Drifter, Brewster, Kranky, Rosey, Hooleo, BP, Twister and friend and Pinky at the Husky at 11:00 am and we were gone by 11:20.
We all had an easy ride out to St Joseph Island on the four lane portion of Hwy17E to Hwy 548, the island turn off. We went around through Hilton so Drifter could check up on a friend's home. After he finished, we proceeded to historic Fort St. Joseph where I'm pretty sure everyone enjoyed their time there wandering the grounds and checking out the exhibits in the visitors' centre. Enroute, Twister and his friend had to cut the day short and return to the Sault as he was experiencing a clutch problem.
After taking some pictures and a few laughs, we left the fort and headed to Richards Landing for something to eat at Camille's Island Café. Mmm good food! As we broached the hill at Sailors' Encampment, the 1000 foot freighter, previously seen up bound off Fort St. Joseph, was making the turn heading towards the Sault Ste. Marie locks and Lake Superior.
After we were finished our meal, we headed back to the Sault where we all went our separate ways.
What a day . . . nice weather, great friends, cool bikes and a good turn out with 8 bikes and 12 riders. What more could you ask for?
