Fingerlakes NY to Milwaukee via Mackinac

I had to go to WI for work, so I decided to take MLW along and add some vacation time to the trip.
Since the last trip ended up w/ a new tire mid-route I decided to get a new one on the front before leaving.
Two thumbs up for Iron Pony; good prices & service.
I 30K+ and no spline issues. I was anticipating an adventrure...
This was the earliest we've ever left on a trip; morning is my favorite time of the day; the earlier the better; not so much for MLW.
First stop was just short of Buffalo to put on some rain gear. My favorite riding weather is low 60's and overcast; I've learned that when you start smelling the rain it's time to put the gear on (if not earlier).
More to follow;
We made it into Canada without even taking our helmets off.
Our first stop in ON was Port Colburne; I didn't know that Great Lakes shipping used such big boats (yeah, former carrier squid, anything smaller than a flat top is a boat).
