Day 8 – Brooksville, ON / Detroit, MI

Had a yummy breakfast (I love B&Bs!) and then headed out. The owners had recommended that we take a tour-cruise of the Thousand Islands area so we set off with the intentions of doing that. We got there and purchased our tickets and the lady angered me (first not-nice Canadian we’d met). We waited around a little while but before long, there were 7 huge tour buses full of people there to get on the same boat as us. Since I was still perturbed by the ticket lady, and we didn’t feel like being sardines for a pleasure tour, we decided to get a refund and get on the road instead. We made it to Detroit just as the sun was getting low. I HAVE NOW BEEN TO ALL 48 CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES!!! (and 3 Canadian Provinces!) I was really surprised to see such nice foliage. To this point in our trip, MI had the nicest foliage.
