U P to Soo Locks at Sault Ste. Marie

On Saturday, we drove to Sault Ste. Marie, the oldest city in Michigan and home to the Soo Locks. There is a city with the same name on the other side of the Ste. Mary's River in Ontario, Canada. We took a boat tour through the locks, and watched the water fill up to adjust to the more than 20 foot difference in the water level.
