Salt Steamery (Sault Ste Marie)

I'm not really sure why, but we couldn't find one place that spelled out the entire name of this strange city. How would you ever know that Ste stands for "Sainte"? Even maps don't list the full name. I say, if you're gonna abbreviate it, make it short, instead of slightly-shorter-than-super-long.

We spent a couple windy days in SSM doing our usual bird surveys and looking for moose everywhere (no luck). We went for a bike ride around SSM and seemed to be going into the wind the entire time. Here is Lizzie doing a survey with her new friends. They looked tough at first but you can see that they are not.

This guy is really a leaner

Me doing a survey. Yep. All we do is stand there.

We tried to make the car look a little less Grandma-y by adding some bikes.

I guess our job isn't too bad.
