It is now Friday, May 28, almost a full month has gone by since we left home. The time has gone quickly, or so it seems to me. My first knitting project is still not done, though this isn’t really a negative thing. What it means is that I don’t knit very quickly and there have been lots of things to do and great scenery to see. Lawrie has commented a number of times on how much walking we seem to do on trips away from home. I know this is a good thing considering how much time we spend sitting!
Cabins, cabins, cabins… cabins on the shore, cabins on islands, they are everywhere. Even with the size of Lake of the Woods, it is not hard to imagine that every single island and little bay has some type of structure on it.
We decide on a smallish Ontario Park called Sioux Narrows about 55 kms from Kenora. There are only 5 sites occupied tonight at our campground and here we were worried camp sites would be in short supply as the weather has turned very warm and sunny and it is the weekend. We had thought to stay at Rushing River Provincial Park, but we were greeted by two incidences of rudeness in less than two minutes of arriving. It is a big park, about 217 sites, and is much closer to Kenora. I very much dislike rude behaviour and so we just left. Considering the friendly staff at this park, I’m very glad we changed our minds. We rented a canoe and paddled about the lake several times. Very lovely spot as you can see from the following photos!
We have a bit more than two weeks to travel to Stratford. There are lots of options for routes and things to see. Decisions are going to be tough! Any of your ideas are welcome …
