Hey Don. Was in your neck of the woods last Fall. Crossed at Sarnia and stayed overnight in St. Clair. Spent ten days driving around Michigan and had a fantastic time. Such a pretty State.

You know Don, I wish I had realized that at the time. We were at the Blue Water Inn and also had dinner at the River Crab. There was TONS of time to kill because we crossed the border a day earlier than we needed to on our way to the Leafs game in Detroit. Since it was our Thanksgiving weekend, we didn't want to risk getting stuck in traffic at the border. Too bad because I would have liked to have traded syrup with you. Next time eh?
