Spectacular Superior

Day three - July 23

I’ll never get tired of the scenic drive along Lake Superior, the Canadian Shield and spectacular views around every turn.  After all of the driving we did today, it’s incredible to think we’re still in Ontario. The only stop we made was to see the Big Goose in Wawa. We camped at Sleeping Giant again this year, this time our site was on the water and I’m happy to report, no deer ran through our site in the middle of the night, although Dave did have a close encounter with a skunk.

This trip, we decided to count Westfalia’s … so far, we’ve seen one – but just wait until we get to Alberta and BC!


Day four – July 24

The stretch from Thunder Bay to Dryden is pretty much just all trees, but I love the smell of the pine trees. The stretch of the Canadian Shield through Kenora is beautiful – it actually made me think I wanted to live there, but then I thought about how brutal the winters probably are.  

We crossed the border into Manitoba on Tuesday at 4:28 p.m. Central time, so it took us two and a half days to get out of Ontario. We stayed at Falcon Lake Provincial Park again - it’s where the photo on my Facebook timeline was taken and was one of the best (and many) memories from last year’s trip – there’s just something about sitting on the rock overlooking the lake just fills my soul.
