Sault Ste Marie , Michigan

We arrived here on Friday, and we seem to have escaped the heat of the mid western states.  When we left Traverse City, Michigan, the weather was cold and rainy, and it was so cool that we needed to have the heater turned on to defrost, but we found that the heater has no heat.  We had the van worked on clear back when we were in Wall, South Dakota, and at the time the engine was repaired, we had the A/C worked on also.  The A/C didn’t have enough of a charge in it, and would not keep the van cool even on the highest settings, and I had it recharged in Urbana, Illinois, and it works really good now.  We have an appointment with the local Ford Dealer on Monday to see why the heater has no heat now, and it probably had no heat at all when the van was delivered to us, but it was hot already outside, and we never tested it.  I called the Ford Dealer in Rapid City South Dakota, and one of the reasons could be a vacuum line not attached correctly, I looked, but I can’t recognize where that line is.

This is one of the inconveniences of being on  the road and leaving the town where the work was done at, and another problem arises, and then you have to pay a different garage to repair what would have been a warranty repair in the first place.

We have at least three tours that we want to do here in Sault Ste Marie, The Tower of History, A Museum Ship named Valley Camp, and to do the Soo Locks Boat Tour.  One of the Soo Locks Boat Tours boats just out back of the RV Park.  The RV Park has a row of spaces that back up to the water.  All land across the water is Canada.

The U.S. Coast Guard has a huge ship docked just 1/4 mile from here.

The RV Park also has two docks in a sheltered slip for the resident of the park.  Canada across the Water.
