Great...Lakes.

Today was a bit slower...I guess I mean less traveling. We tried to skate a park in London, ON but they were doing work on it and it was fenced off. After walking around and looking at it, we weren't supper sad to not skate it.
After that we moved on the Chatham, ON. This park was a bit of a street-plaza type thing...so I was a bit out of my element. But it was still a lot of fun. When we were sitting in the van after skating, just about to leave, I watched a little kid roll his ankle pretty good. Being the nice guys we are, we brought him a bag of ice fresh from our cooler.


I feel like we paid it forward a bit with the bag of ice and were rewarded with a very smooth border crossing...the guard even liked out drawing machine decks we are making. Although, he had very little good to say about Detroit...even using a bit of cursing to describe it.
The first stop in Detroit was a little skateshop on the outskirts of town called Refuge. It's a good shop with a ton of product. And enough non-leather shoes that I just couldn't help but buy a pair. We asked the guy about skating in the area and he sent us to a park that we think was called Riley (?). A pretty great park with bowls and street stuff...and it's on Rich's favorite street in America:So it's been a good trip so far...a good amount of skateboarding today even though it's been incredibly hot.
Tomorrow we're off for Chicago for most of the day.
