lots of bambis

July 14. Today began by drinking our coffee on a big rock overlooking Falcon Lake. It was a beautiful sunny morning and the lake was bathtub water warm. Life, is good.

Then it was a haul ass day. We drove from Whiteshell Manitoba to Sleeping Giant just south of Thunder Bay – about 10 hours. We stopped in T-Bay at the Terry Fox memorial – I had a moment. What an inspiring kid. On days when I’m feeling lazy and too tired to run or work out, I’ll think about the kid who ran a marathon everyday with a prosthetic leg. We saw another black bear – this time running across the highway - so that brings our total to 5. The 30+ km drive off the TransCanada to Sleeping Giant was full of deer sightings – and one sandhill crane sighting. The park was full of thumpers and multiple bambies, we saw them all over the campground and heard one run through our site in the middle of the night. Oh, and then there were the loons - this time, not such a sweet sound, cooing all night long.
