[Magdalen] Time is -- uh ....

[Lynn Ronkainen]

consider reconsidering Marquette.... it is rather unremarkable...

and consider a stop in St. Ignace, before crossing the bridge for lunch at 
The Galley Restaurant... try a delicacy Whitefish Livers... or other good 
local fresh fish.

and the Soo Locks?
