When the two RV Gypsies were in Port Huron, they looked across the river and could see Point Edward, Ontario, Canada, so they decided to take a day trip across the Bluewater Bridge into Canada. Each of the three lanes on the Bluewater Bridge dictated which lane cars, trucks and special vehicles must be in. Crossing the border was not an issue for the two RV Gypsies. Traffic went quickly and it was hassle-free.

Karen Duquette was still eating, but Lee Duquette was finished, so he went across the street to see what the small monument was about. Lee did not see any plaque about this monument. But he did notice that it had multiple faces at the top of it.

Below: The two RV Gypsies took a drive by the local casino, but they did not go inside the casino. They do not gamble away their money, they use it all on travel.
