Kitchen … oops, Kitchener!
We plod along the backroads for a while, amazed at the 'every-other-acre-by-the-lake-mansion'. Either building a monolith is less than expensive here, or every other person is a millionaire! There...

Pelee Day Two
It's raining cats and dogs, so we decide to do our laundry! We are just nicely started when it quits raining and starts again as soon as we are finished. Bad timing or what? We head to Pelee and the...
Point Pelee
Well we can go no further south on Canada's mainland. We could, of course, take (are you ready for this) another ferry to Pelee Island. But we still wouldn't be as far south as you can go. Middle Island...

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...

Brownlee Lake Park is a nice little private campground beside, are you ready for this, Brownlee Lake (near Thessalon). On our way into this campground we noticed this Round Barn gift shop, so we stop in...
Still more Superior
Dawn breaks bright, sunny and without a whisper of wind. Of course we wouldn't know that because we are still in bed when dawn breaks. However when we do arise the day is still sunny, bright and...
A Superior Way
This is beautiful country, I wonder why they see the need to clutter it up with billboards! Not that the billboards are overwhelming but there are just enough of them to be irritating. I wonder if the...
