Sauntering, Our travels around the country
Maple Syrup Symposium (2007)
September 24, 2004
Continued around Lake
Superior and spent the evening at a quaint little inn call the Rossport Inn
established in 1884. It was built for the railroad traffic. The proprietor is
Sheila. The Inn closes in November and she goes to sunny Winnipeg for the
winter. The Inn has several rooms that share two bathrooms and 9 cabins, each
with its own bathroom and electric heat. They have their own restaurant that
features fresh fish from the Lake caught by the Inn's own fisherman. Terry had
Trout Hemmingway, a Rossport Inn specialty, and Heather had Whitefish Almandine.
The dinners were delicious! At dinner we met a couple from Ottawa who travel
around repairing microscopes at schools and universities. What no one, including
the Fodor's guidebook, mentioned was that the train track 20 yards from our
cabin is still an active one and apparently Canadian trains only run at
night...at least two an hour. The engines, whistles, the trainwheels clickity-clacking
over the tracks and the cabin trembling with each train really weren't too bad.
What woke us up (an other guests) was our car alarm going off when a conductor
blew his whistle right at our cabin. Five years ago today marks my Dads
passing.
