Thunder Bay is about 300 miles north of where we live in the Twin Cities. We've always wanted to see Gord there but it never fit into our schedules. This time, we are making it fit.

I looked on the map and if I converted from kilometers correctly, Thunder Bay and Sault St. Marie are about 370 miles apart. (Someone please correct me if that is far off.) A long drive but certainly do-able during the day if one leaves early enough. We have been on the Canadian National Highway between Thunder Bay and Sault St Marie and the scenery is just outstanding.

We saw Gord two straight nights in September 1998 in Sault St. Marie but that was in a casino in Sault, St. Marie, Michigan, not Ontario.

I noticed that in early November, Bob Dylan played the Essar Centre in Sault St. Marie, ON. Looks like a hockey arena - hope the acoustics are good.
