Day 47 Sault Ste Marie (again)

For the first time on a travel day we weren't anxious to get on the road. I was not giving up a minute of this park before I had to, and there was time with morning coffee to wander and appreciate just a little more!

Early morning mist
Everything very calm this morning, even the inlet from Lake Superior.

But all good things must come to an end,and by the time we were travelling along the shores of Lake Superior heading east, we were both far less content than we had been on our way out here. The views are still beautiful. Markers like the Wawa goose are still amusing. The road is dry and visibility is good. Destinations like Pukaskwa are more than worth the stop, but with a KOA to look forward to, we just want to get home! Poor David is having so much trouble getting comfortable with a third of his torso blistered with shingles, that's it's hard to be just content to drive along.

Thankful though to now be tucked into out spot in Sault Ste Marie. We are two days from home!

Day 45 Thunder Bay (again)

Image
The day from Dryden to Thunder Bay was delightfully uneventful. We stayed here on the way down so knew exactly where we were going and what to expect. It may not sound like a marvelous adventure, but it’s a great travel day! The smoke was greatly reduced and the rain stopped so we were all good! Just a pretty little stroll before bed!

Day 14 Thunder Bay

Moving on today for an overnight in Thunder Bay in a full service park. We certainly don't mind simple living, but every once in a while having full service to do laundry, clean tanks, restock the larder and have a proper shower makes roughing it that much more manageable! The other thing that we finally have for at least one night is reliable Wi-Fi and cell service. Once again, loads to be celebrated in disconnecting. When you do have intermittent Wi-Fi and get a notice from your bank about an issue, you need cell signal for the dual-factor authentication! We have had a couple of issues that were delayed until we had cell coverage, so today was also the day to get those chores sorted. Jonathan and Jenna had given us National Park Passes for Mother's/Father's Day but our generous PM and his free park visits for 2025 wrecked that plan. They had a friend recommend a Mexican restaurant in Thunder Bay, so insisted on taking us to supper as a substitute. We insisted it wasn'...

Day 43 Winnipeg (again)

Settled into Winnipeg once again after a long day of travel. This morning when we were getting ready to leave Moose Jaw, I realized it was time to go home. To be fair this happens at the end of many wonderful holidays. I am having such a wonderful time I don’t want it to end, but when it’s time to go home, it’s time to be home! Camping is not for everyone, but I love it. I love the simplicity. I love the problem solving. I love the adventure. I even love how you need to work for everything you have, and what you want becomes less. This morning as we had breakfast and prepared to move on, I found myself thinking – this will all be much easier to do when I get home! I was feeling grumbly! A sure sign it’s time to be home! Our travel was much better today. There was still significant smoke for our entire drive, but no rain. I can’t bring myself to complain about the smoke realizing that people here have been living with this all summer, and yet even those people are so much better off...
