This is where I arrived and
got to Elliot Lake and was taken out on my first tour of the area by James
and Joyce Mackenzie.

I am staying for the first few days

city

And here is James and Joyce who are taking me
into the Welcome Centre to collect my welcome pack of brochures

Ginette & Real

And so after a quick visit to the City
Chambers to fix up my Internet connection it was off on a wee tour of the
area. I did notice the Clan Mackenzie number plate on James' car and
the interesting signpost on their driveway :-)

This is a great trail in the winter and am
told their are some 400km of trails to drive on for snowmobiles
