Before I dictate our travels for the day, I want to say thank you to Tara and Jason for their warm hospitality these past 2 days. We left feeling satiated and satisfied, warm and fuzzy, but most of all grateful that we are family. Thank you from the heart.
After a refreshing cup of mint tea and a lovely visit with Siobhan’s mom, who attends the university here, we made our way east once again. Kenora is the first major stop from Winnipeg into Ontario and I needed to mail something home, so we popped in at the post office then took a quick jaunt along the lakeside trail before heading more south than east and deeper into the Lake of the Woods area. We both agreed that this looks like moose and beaver country, which it most certainly is. It is also cottage country and we were surprised to see “cottages
” the size of mansions lining the waterfront.
Our provincial campsite doesn’t officially open until Friday so we weren’t sure if we would find a place here for the night but the Park Ranger welcomed us warmly, apologizing that things weren’t quite set up yet but the facilities were clean and firewood available so “pick a site and enjoy!” And that’s what we did.
We loved having you! Tate is still talking about Gordon’s van!! Have a wonderful journey!
Looks like cozy camping. How warm has it been? Speaking of beaver country, we just have to share that our neighbour has a beaver who has taken up residence in their pond. Apparently quite a blind and plodding beaver, perhaps it got sick and tired of the cold Ontario winters and migrated West like a certain son of yours!
