    Two days in Sault Ste. Marie, MI–Big Trip #1

    We visited Sault Ste Marie in May 2016 during Big Trip #1. After Houghton, we had a few days of play in our schedule before we were due in Traverse City, so after extensive googling and debating we decided to spend part of that time in Sault Ste. Marie. That’s pronounced “soo saint marie.” We loved our campsite–another sweet waterfront…
