Today, 4th June 2005, I
decided to do a tour starting out from Chatham heading towards Wallaceburg
and then onto route 40 to Sarnia where I intended to go down the St. Clair
river to Walpole Island and thus back to Chatham. I really wanted to
see what the river was like.
I thought I'd take a few pictures of the farm
lands running from Wallaceburg through to Sarnia.
And there were taken through the car window to
let you see the road and woods
And here is the start of my river tour on the
outskirts of Sarnia
Lots of boats on the river
Took hi-res photos here so you can get a look
at the homes on the USA side of the river
Here you can learn about the St. Clair River
There loads of wee parks all along the road
There are hundreds if not thousands of wee
boat piers all along the river
And you can see one of the larger ships
heading up river to Lake Huron
And a large power station on the Canadian side
And one the islands on the river where you
will see houses
And I arrive at the Baldoon Settlement where
Lord Selkirk purchased the land and sent out settlers from Scotland
And here is the plaque for you to read
And then it was back to Walpole Island and
this is the scene from the river
And you can just make out the Chatham-Kent
sign on the left as I complete my tour |
