Our campsite was very spread out so we were miles away from the facilities. It was damp and grey when we woke, so another day of packing up a wet tent. We got everything stowed away and headed over the hill to the office, where the wifi worked and to…
Awake early after a restless night. Dennis was pondering over our electrics problem and trying to work out what the problem was. Last night when we had set up camp, and thought all was well, we discovered it was not. I was cooking dinner and tried to get some water…
I made use of the Post Office and purchased some stamps, before we moved off from their grassy area, which had been our resting place for the night. We took some minor roads to start the day with lovely farming countryside. Mostly arable, growing maize and soya beans. Villages with …
It is a beautiful morning and I am writing as we drive along Highway 7 towards Ottawa. The horrible humidity of the last few days has disappeared and the sky is pure blue. It’s a good, smooth road and the traffic is light, so pleasant driving conditions. Last night we…
Yesterday was one of those days when everything went well. Today was rather different. I came back from my shower to find Dennis looking very perturbed. ‘She’ won’t start.’ The battery is as flat as a proverbial pancake. Perhaps the red light on the control panel did mean something was…

This morning when we were packing up the mosquitoes were rampant. They have been worse for the last couple of days and to add to the pestilence, we have horse flies. The scenery remains the same as yesterday, Pretty, hilly with gently winding roads, forests, glimpses of Lake Superior and…
A beautiful sunny day when we left our nicely mowed field, which Ryan had kindly let us set up camp in last night. (Ryan, Dennis says when you to pick up the skidoo, take a knife as he has cable-tied the cover over it!) The temperature is supposed to reach…
Today was a bit different. Instead of driving for most of the day, we spent more of the time sight seeing. When I came back from my shower I found Dennis ensconced in the Land Rover, cooking porridge with our camping neighbour, Frank. Frank and his wife, Margaret, are a…
