July 1. Happy Canada Day! And what a perfect way to celebrate the day, by getting in the car and driving across the country. We said good-bye to the lake, hit the road at 6:18 a.m and arrived at Neys Provincial Park at 6:30 p.m. What an amazing day. For hours and hours we saw endless spectacular views of the Canadian Shield around every bend. We only stopped a few times – twice for gas – in Sudbury and Salt Saint Mary (Sault Ste. Marie), the R.I.D.E program and our first (hopefully only!) speeding ticket (thanks officer Brad for knocking it down – Dave doesn’t just have a rabbits foot up his ass, he’s got the whole rabbit plus a horseshoe!). We rocked out to bad, cheesy 80’s songs, busted out ‘the world’s most annoying sound’ and Dave taught me the alternate lyrics to ‘The Adam’s Family’ and the ‘Toy’s ‘R Us’ song – you don’t wanna know.
Neys campground was beautiful. Our site was right along the beach on Lake Superior. The beach looked like a driftwood graveyard, where huge trees have washed up on shore to lay to rest. Left turn Clyde was pretty exhausted from being a passenger all day, and was ready to crash out early.
Big picture for the day: a big ATV and snowmobile in Manitouwadge. No bear or moose sightings today.
