algoma – Rainwater Rambling

A Week in the Soo

My travel for work has been a little lighter this summer and fall, I was in Sault Ste. Marie for the week doing an installation and training at our site in the Turkey Lakes Watershed, about an hour north of the Soo. I stayed at the Delta Waterfront with a nice view of the St Marys River and the bridge to the US.

The first two days we had rain, before it cleared up towards the end of the week. This is the Chippewa River Falls.

The river crosses under Highway 17.

Wishart Lake, one of the many lakes that the Water Survey monitors.

Batchawana Lake, the fall colours were late this year, they were getting the same hot weather we were getting in the south. Although the hotels were full with the tour buses for the Agawa Canyon train ride.

St Marys River early Friday morning.

A week in Algoma

I was up at one of sites just northwest of Sault Ste Marie this week. There were three of us there doing a major upgrade. The other two drove up from Toronto and I flew in Monday afternoon. For the first time in my career with CAPMoN, my checked bag didn’t arrive with me. Fortunately there are multiple flights to the Sault, and my bag arrived on the next flight, 2.5 hours after mine landed. We were staying in camp. This is the cookhouse on the left and my room the door on the right.
