Early Starts
It was already, or maybe still, 21 degrees at 6:30 this morning. We had agreed to make an early start to the day to avoid the heat of the afternoon and so we blast about getting the necessary things...
Heat
It hits us today like a blast furnace! This is the first, true southern Ontario hazy, hot and humid day. We do not travel very far today due to a very late departure and the heat. We opt for the beaches...
Forever southward ho!
An early start to the day has us following highway 21. We aren't sure of our final destination, but we know we want to stop and see a lighthouse and a cheese factory and store along the way. I'm quite...
Tobermory Town
Lawrie requests the day off ... and I concur! So it's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood (thanks Mr. Rogers) and what better neighbourhood to see than Tobermory. You would think we were by the ocean...

Along the North Shore
It is raining when we get up ... no, not just raining, pouring would be a better word. Fortunately we never unhitched the trailer last night, so with the minimum of fuss we are on the road again....
Thunder Bay
Well before we get to Thunder Bay there is Kakabeka Falls. When I (Lawrie) was going to University in Thunder Bay, there was just a little park and some real nice viewing platforms. Today there is quite...
Emo, Atikokan, Sapawe, Kashabowie, Quetico, Kakabeka!
And these names are all pronounced how? I know now, but will probably not get them right tomorrow! These are all Ojibwa names ... and even that can get spelled a few different ways! These are also...
