Saturday will begin with a sit down breakfast. The Super 8 does provide a continental, so you may eat there if you wish. Our tour route does not have a convenient place to eat lunch near the half way mark, so lunch will be late.
Instead of the aforementioned eastern route on to St Joseph Island, you primary route has changed to the north. The east route is now relegated to weather related bail out status. The new tour route will take us north of Sault Ste Marie on Hwy 17 along the rugged eastern shoreline of Lake Superior. The route has the greatest wow factor of any road around, regardless of the amount of colors in the trees. We've heard many a tourist say it's one of the best scenic routes they've driven anywhere.

Here's a possible itinerary for the tour. Exact location and timing of stops is yet to be determined (stops can be either on the north or southbound legs), but this gives you a good feel of what you're in for.
Starting in Sault Ste Marie, we will travel north passing the small village of Heyden, then Goulais River, Haviland Bay and Harmony Beach.
