AUGUST 8 - We left Montreal and drove to Massey, ON...around a 10 hour drive (should have been 9 except for a wrong turn...don't ask). We stayed at a beautiful campsite near some rapids and a waterfall (check out the picture in the gallery).

AUGUST 9 - Massey, ON to Lake Superior Provincial Park (Rabbit Blanket campsite near Wawa, ON). Another good day, but the temperature sure dropped off at night. Lake Superior was a spectacular blue colour and we spent a good part of the day driving along its shores. We stopped off at one beach (Agawa Bay) to play around a bit but the water was way too cold to consider swimming in it. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!

AUGUST 10 - We drove a short day today (6 hours) to Thunder Bay where we stayed at the Days Inn and went to the Keg to celebrate our anniversary. Interesting drive...who knew that there were no McDonalds, only A&Ws between Sault Ste. Marie and Thunder Bay?!? Thunder Bay was a neat town, and we were surprised to learn that it has the third largest port in Canada (after Montreal and Vancouver) with capacity to store over 100 million bushels of grain.

AUGUST 11 - Finally left Ontario today...we made it to a provincial campsite just outside of Winnipeg, about an 8 hour drive.

AUGUST 12 - We'd hoped to spend he day at Grand Beach, but it was flippin' cold and windy...so we looked around there a bit and spent the afternoon in Winnipeg in an area called "The Forks" (where a couple rivers meet, really cool markets and parks).................we got a flat tire there though so that delayed us a while. We made it out to Spruce Woods provincial park near Portage le Prairie for the night. And what a night. We ran out of propane in the middle of cooking Kraft Dinner, then got rained on as we tried to build a fire...but you can't stand between David and food for too long - supper was served at 10pm

AUGUST 13 - Before leaving Spruce Woods we went for a hike through some sand dunes there - it was crazy to come across a desert in the middle of southern Manitoba! We finished the last 7 hours of our drive to Caronport, SK, meeting David's Mom and sister for supper at Boston Pizza (for those of you in MTL who have never been, there are new ones opening up there soon...order the Chicken and Ham Stromboli sandwich and your life will never be the same)
