April 5, 2012

Before leaving Leamington I sat on the ferry dock as the ferry to Pelee Island was boarding. I thought about heading over to Pelee Island but it was pretty expensive for just a one day trip.

I continued following the various coast roads and made several stops along the way. I was heading to the Windsor area.

Once I got to Windsor the traffic surely pickup. I had the road pretty much to myself over the past several days ... and LOVE IT!! As I found my way to Riverside Dr. I remember it as being a beautiful drive along the Detroit River. It had improved even more. There were a number of parks and parking areas to stop and enjoy the view, including the skyline of Detroit, MI, across the river.

Speaking of the Goodyear Blimp ... check out the picture taken with my Sigma 150-500 lens. Their is much to see and do in the Windsor area and I am looking forward to my return trip.

As evening closed in I stopped along Highway 2 at an abandoned church. I decided it looked suitable and I parked for the night. Little did I realize that a VIA rail line was directly behind the church. I found out about three in the morning when a train went by ... whistle just a blowing for all it was worth. Scared the heck out of me.
