We really enjoy Aune Osborn Campground, a county campground on the St Mary's river, just east of Sault Sainte Marie. The Sault Locks are fascinating (for some of us) and we like to spend a little time there whenever we can. This year we spent almost 10 days. We took young John along on the adventure. This is a short record of a ride we took on the Sault Locks tour. Heading out, we went through the American locks. John, up close and personal with the wall, watching the water level rise. In the lock next to us was a Really Big Freighter. Cruising along after leaving the Lock. Young John being young John. Gulls hanging out on the piles of coke, warm in the morning sun.
