Just at the entrance of the Dynamic Earth Museum stands the Canada's largest Nickle coin. We reached to Sudbury after a nice drive from North Bay. 'Dynamic Earth' is an exhibit and museum showing the copper & nickle mining history in Canada from the last century until now.
Very educational indeed. After the Dynamic Earth we headed for the AY jackson look out but finding it closed we visited the nearby waterfall and drove on to Sault Ste Marie. The Algoma country is indeed very picturesque but the slag from Algoma smelters landed us into deep trouble. The GPS directed us to a side road that is being built up using the slag nuggets and following the GPS directions we landed up in a loose slag patch with the front wheels of the car sunken deep and firmly stuck. If it was not for the timely help of a guardian angel named Lee we would probably have still been stuck there instead of being here in a warm room having already had our supper.
Tomorrow we plan to see few points of interest in Sault ste Marie and then head for Marathon.
Cheers,
