L2O2

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 places in the area we have just gone through in Northwestern Ontario. Many, many Americans towing bass and pickerel boats abound as well. When we went through Fort Frances, there were about 200 lined up on the highway (2 lanes thankfully) returning to the States over the International Peace Bridge. There are also two big pulp mills which saturate the town with that rotten sulphur smell these mills are famous for!

Fort Frances is a blue collar town and most probably work in the pulp and paper industry, but it isn’t without a gardener or two … and at least one of them has a great sense of humour!

Tomorrow we plan to leave this great canoer’s haven with no less that 2,200 camp sites in the backcountry, and go to Thunder Bay. It will be a day to update this website, do a bit of shopping, call family to make sure everyone is well and happy, and maybe even do the laundry, but that is up for debate!
