South Baymouth

After leaving Wawa, we traveled to Sault Ste. Marie, a city a little larger than Fort McMurray on the American border. Prior to arriving at SSM, we blew a tire on the boat trailer, and I was forced to exchange the tires, a difficult task without any prior experience.

When we arrived at Sault, we found a Kal Tire and had all the tires replaced on the trailer, a job which took about two hours, but probably would have taken two days in Fort McMurray. After leaving, we headed for Parry sound, via Sudbury. As we drove, my mother read about a ferry which travels through Georgian Bay, a place we hadn't visited before.

After a two hour drive south of Espanola, we arrived in the port town of South Baymouth, and what we found was perhaps a tale of two cities.

What we found upon closer inspection of the town was mediocrity hidden under a mask of quaintness. The town seemed beautiful, but the people cut corners every conceivable way. Coffee was watered down, motel rooms were dirty and poorly constructed, vending machines were infested with spiders as were the rooms.

Don't go to South Baymouth unless you can catch the ferry the same day. You will regret it.
