Confessions of a Lake Superior Rock Fanatic

I was lucky to be born in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario at the east end of Lake Superior. I grew up wandering the lake's shore and beaches and climbing the rock bluffs overlooking the lake. Part of my souild is still there. My sister, Sharalyn, still lives in the Sault and is a rock hound. She haunts the shores, looking for interesting and beautiful rocks, of which there are many. 

Soo Today published this article by her. 

Driving our way up north, we could end up anywhere from Batchawana (great driftwood), Pancake Bay (great camping trips), Sawpit Bay (beachglass, rocks, driftwood, everything), heading up to Montreal River outlook (flat rocks here), winding up to Katherine Cove and Old Woman Bay. There are a few favorite spots but you can stop nearly anywhere along the highway and head out along a trail or forge through the bush. 

Most often it is, “Lets stop here and see”, which involves forging a trail through the bush, climbing down a ravine or a crevasse (That takes a while when stopping every foot to take a photo of mushrooms, lichen, fungi, moss). But nothing tops the satisfaction when you arrive at the shore with everything a visually stunning sight, not knowing what to point your lens at.
