St. Marys River

Marie, Ontario, also known as the Soo.

The highway kind of descends down towards the St. Marys River.

Like a lot of northern Ontario cities, you pass some, uh, quite a few big-box stores until you get to this cute city core.

Unfortunately, it's like a lot of these other cities in that you see quite a few boarded-up homes and boarded-up stores and some smashed windows.

Sault Ste.

Marie is home to around 80,000 people, and it's just a few kilometers away from the US.

There's a very close relationship with the US, with the city across, directly across the St. Marys River, which is also called Sault Ste.

Marie.

I really appreciate you.

We're going to go to Ontario, and this is going to be in a town of about 70,000 people at the northern end of Lake Huron, split by the St. Mary's River, and it's Twin City, Salt St. Marie, which is... what it's called on the Ontario side and the Michigan side.

These two are connected by an international bridge, a five-span structure carrying traffic across the river to and from Canada.

That's a joke.

Marie and the St. Marys River.

Let me show you, Tommy, on the map where this is, when I can pull up this map, and see how far we are away.

We've never been here before.

I don't know if there's ever been any national tournament trail that's ever been here, but as far north as you physically possibly can, for the most part, in the United States, and that is, like you said, Sault Ste.

Marie, the St. Marys River there, all the way.

It is, it is straddling the border.

Uh, you got an airport there.

A. Bingham numbers 17 beneficiaries and 34 day scholars, as per report herewith.

The school of the Methodist Society at Little Rapids, on the St. Mary's River, has recently been reorganized, but I have no report of its numbers.

Nor has any report yet reached me from the school of the Ottawas in Barry County.

These will be forwarded when received.

Yeah.

But no, I'm, I, I'm kinda trying to convince one of my buddies to get up to the Su- uh, St. Marys River maybe, just drive up there one of the mornings and just fish that too.

So yeah, I have a f- uh, a weekend ahead of me for fishing, but I don't really know exactly how it's gonna plan out yet, but I just know I'm fishing.

the father was to see many members of this exiled tribe upon lake superior frequently canoe parties going up the ottawa had encountered prowling bands from the mohawk but peace now prevailed and the passage could be made with but small danger from enemies although disasters from shipwreck and the rapid current were not uncommon.

The traveller of to-day may follow very closely the route of Marquette, from Montreal to Sault de Sainte-Marie, wholly by rail, in drawing-room or sleeping-cars, or by rail to Owens Sound or Collingwood, thence by well-appointed steamers through the thirty thousand islands of Georgian Bay, out into Lake Huron, and among the Manitoulin Islands to St. Mary's River and the Sault, it is one of the most interesting inland water journeys to
