Day 1 Second Leg - Genesee Co/Niagara Falls/Toronto/Sault Ste. Marie

After a little discussion with both Clearance Delivery and Approach Control we hit the jackpot. Cleared to circle Niagara Falls twice at 4000ft (just under the overcast). What a sight! I flew while Chris got lots of pics, banking hard occasionally for a better shot.



Then across a hazy Lake Ontario into Canadian Airspace for a little more great service and co-operation from Air Traffic Control for a fly over the center of Toronto City at 2000ft for an upclose look at the CNN Tower - looking UP at it. Awesome!



Then a beautiful flight up the east side of Lake Huron over many islands to our destination at Sault Ste. Marie. The airport was deserted but we managed to find some wheel chocks, and a computer that worked. We found a room at Days Inn, enjoyed a much needed meal over some great conversation and celebration of a great start to our trip.
