BradT Posted February 11, 2008 Share #1 Posted February 11, 2008 Went up to Sault Ste Marie for my fathers 70th Birthday Party. Had a good time, but we left this morning in some nasty weather. The first 180 miles of the 475 mile run was not fun. We were travelling between 25 and 50 miles an hour. Windy, snow coverred roads with white out conditions. On top of the Mackinaw bridge they were escorting the trucks and trailors. The rode way was clear, but the wind WOW. You can see the car in front of us was white with snow which was the way most vehicles were and you could barley see there lights, when they hit there brakes. The last picture is my Father with Mr. Bon Soo (Mascot of the winter carnival), who made an appearance as my cousin is the Vice President of the orgnaization. Made it home safe and sound, after longer than normal run. My two Brothers, sister and family are still in the Sault as they closed down highway 17 on the Cdn side so they were not able leave.

Marcarl Posted February 11, 2008 Share #5 Posted February 11, 2008 That would have been a good reason to find a nice warm room somewhere and stay put, but I would have probably come all the way home as well. Glad you made it safe and sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradT Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share #16 Posted February 13, 2008 We just got over another blizzard here this week-end. Looked alot like that for road conditions...closed alot of highways. My Mother in law is visiting her son in Douglas Station heard it was nasty there as well. Actually a lot colder than where we were. snow is a four letter work, as it cuts into our bike riding season. Not sure where you live but my riding season is only 8 months long because of the four letter words:sign20:. We are in the home stretch now though once feb is over we are getting close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
