Marathon

After about 3,000,000 hills and just before dark we rolled into town, we called uncle Barry and auntie Connie. Got directions through town to their house and they even had pizza waiting for us, made the long day totally worth the effort. The next day we toured town checking out all the sights, Pebbles Beach, the marina and of course Robyn`s Doughnuts. Joanna`s passport arrived after we left Prince George so we had it mailed to Marathon as it turned out it had not yet arrived and being friday it meant that we were going to be visiting until at least monday afternoon. That night we chilled around the fire in the rain eating bbq`d steaks. An after dinner coffee and some other taste drinks made for a good evening and good night. The next day we went out to white lake and had a mini impromptu fishing trip where Joanna caught her first pickerel and pike fish. Sunday Joanna and I went back and did a more extensive tour of Pebbles Beach where Joanna found the `the face rock`. We walked for miles along the rugged beach line on a cool but sunny day. We planned to leave town on tuesday morning after picking up Joanna`s passport but weather delayed our departure, luckily for us Mandy and Dusty offered to give us a ride to the Sault wednesday evening. We arrived late grabbed a hotel room, crashed and awoke to the sun shining and the open road a waiting.

Thanks to Uncle Barry and Auntie Connie for the great hospitality, to Mandy and Dusty for the ride, and to Russel for the boat ride. Great to see everyone after 20+ years.
