After our visitors reported on their visit to Point Pelee, Dayle wondered if we could make it in a day trip.
By the map, we would go 251 km (2 1/2 hours) down the 401 then turn south for 30 or 40 miles.
For a check, I turned on the old Streets and Trips software. This gave me trip of 2 days and some hours.
Their suggested route was around south of Lake Erie, past Cleveland, then take a ferry to Pelee Island and another ferry to the north shore. The return trip started with the same two ferries, then around through Detroit to get back home.
Point Pelee is the southernmost, mainland point in Canada. Pelee Island is halfway across the lake. It seems to line up with the southern border of Michigan and possibly the southern borders of Oregon and Idaho. It is a wonderful migratory bird watching spot.
