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...
Manitoulin Island, Bruce Peninsula and another ferry
The economy of the Island appears to be based on farming and tourism. There are many very small pockets of population and then lots of homes and cabins scattered everywhere else, though not so visibly...
To Manitoulin Island
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...

Lower Fort Garry
It is an easy drive to the Fort and we spend three hours there. We are saturated by history brought alive by the many interpreters that work there.
Off to Winnipeg
Do you think this grain elevator is overly tall? Just because Lawrie thought there weren't many elevators left, they are showing up at almost every town now. Many need a coat of paint that we doubt will...
