Mike and Penny Rue from Huntsville, Ontario. Mike is a retired teacher. He taught one part of a year at Sir James Dunn in Sault Ste. Marie. Every winter they go through Sault Ste. Marie on their way to British Columbia  for a few months.They might stop by and see me in November to see how my trip went.

A nice path for bicycles

I met Mike and Penny's group again at their lunch stop. They are on a bike and barge trip. Their barge is on the other side of the island at Oudeschilde.
