This trip was delayed while waiting for the New Gordie Howe Bridge to open. It is now scheduled to open on July 27, so we are off on the tour again.
We will meet at Sinbad’s parking lot at 9:00 AM (1000 St. Clair St., Detroit) on Saturday, August 15. The restaurant will not be open for business at that hour. We are just meeting up in their parking lot and confirming a continuous Lap of Lake St. Claire. If you need a bathroom break or basic breakfast, there is a McDonalds on Jefferson, not too far from Sinbad’s.
Please fill your car with gas before meeting at Sinbad’s. We will follow the Lake shore line as much as possible. The basic directions are to keep the water on your right.
There will probably be points of interest along the way where we may stop and investigate. There will be a lunch stop in Algonac prior to boarding the Walpole Ferry to cross the Detroit River to Canada. You must have your Enhanced ID or Passport to enter Canada and return to the US.
Some people may not care to drive from Sinbad’s to Algonac, depending on where you live.
When the Algonac luncheon stop has been determined, it will be published to all those who signed up on the website. You may just want to meet the group in Algonac.
Once we get into Ontario, the lakeshore roads are not in very good condition. We will probably leave the lake shore to use more improved roads and find better services, like an ice cream stop in Chatham. Hitting the road from Chatham we will continue our way to and through Windsor, the Gordie Howe Bridge and back to Sinbad’s for dinner.
The trip could be about 190 miles and take less than 5 hours if driven continuously.
