Travel update - July 9th

Yesterday's journey to Port McNicoll was uneventful except for construction along our route.  That took some quick thinking and on line map review in order to work our way around 2 road closures along Highway 89.  The roads we took were great.  Pavement was in excellent shape.  Very little traffic.  
Port McNicoll is adjacent to Midland, Ontario and is home to the vessel SS Keewadin.  She is the last Edwardian passenger steamship of its type in the world! (Five years older than the Titanic!)
The vessel is currently for sale!  If it is not sold, it will be dismantled and a piece of wonderful history will be lost forever.   The tour is wonderful and the slope inside the ship is even greater than how it appears in the picture above.
Here is a link to their site for more information.
