Okay, so I got a job in the big VT this summer, and I also got a digital camera so I could take pictures along the way. This is the illustrated account (and time schedule) of my travels from Pillager, Minnesota to Wisconsin to Michigan to Ontario to New York to Vermont! All pictures are thumbnails. Click on them if you want to see a bigger and better picture, under 640x480 and 45.5k. |

Home Sweet Home. |
| Au Train Bay. |

This one shows the island I'm gonna buy and build a big tree house on when I get older. Something like that. | |
| I like bridges. The only bad part about bridges is that you have keep both hands on the wheel and both eyes on the road, when you want to use both hands to take pictures and both eyes to look at the best view you've seen in the past 400 miles! |
|
|
|
And of course, the people who build the bridge don't have enough money to make scenic outlooks or something. You have to walk a half mile back up the bridge just to get a shot of the view you had just seen half a minute before! | |
| This is one of my biggest problems with Canada. I'd like to title this picture "Welcome To Canada", because both here and when reentering the United States, I could see Canada's greeting to us. Smokestacks spewing pollution into the sky, at least 5 in the picture above, and 3 clear stacks on Day 2. |
|
|
|
Here's my theory: Since there are so many cool looking places and beautiful views inside Cananda, they just crank out all their pollution so that most of it will drift over here, and they leave the rest of their country nice and clean so that they don't have to live with it. | |
| This was a great place to spend the night. Thirty one Canadian dollars translated to about 18 American dollars, and I had a night in a nice clean trailer house for less money than I spent for gas that day. I think I'll go back there if I ever pass through Bruce Mines, ON again. |
