Ok White River has a Husky it used to be 24hrs, Marathon also has fuel but expensive and so is Terrace Bay. Cheapest near going west is Nipigon where 11 &17 hwys meet on the west side of town, there are at least 2 truck stops with 24hrs fuel and restaurants and parking. SS marie to thunder bay is about 450 miles but nipigon is around 65 closer.

The Great Northern road going north out of ss marie has a few truck stops on it so you can fill there and should be able to run all the way to Nipigon without too much trouble.

Watch the weather reports as this time of year going thru the Agawa area (north of ss marie by 40 miles) sudden storms can come in off the lake and close the highway (17) for hours.

Pel, if you return to the U.S. via Thunder Bay stop by Sven and Ole's Pizza in downtown Grand Marais, MN. Or eat breakfast at the S.O.B. (South Of The Border) Cafe just off highway 61.

Oh God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son"
Abe says, "Man, you must be puttin' me on"
God say, "No." Abe say, "What?"
God say, "You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin' you better run"
Well Abe says, "Where do you want this killin' done?"
God says, "Out on Highway 61."

"You used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat,
who carried on his shoulder a siamese cat."

Does anyone know what the heck that means? I'm sure a chrome horse is a motorcycle, but the diplomat and cat thing...?
