Ontario

The others moved too fast for

To pass the time on road trips I keep a variety of tallies and play a long scavenger hunt game.  One of the tallies is wildlife.  On this trip so far, we’ve seen a few antelope, two moose, a bear and a great horned owl keeping an eye on us from the top of a power pole.  We also saw some bald eagles circling overhead.

Stopping at Kakabeka Falls is a must see for us on every trip through Ontario.  It’s just outside of Thunder Bay.  When the kids were young they christened them as the Pepsi Falls because that was the colour of the water.   There a legend about the falls where an Ojiway princess led Sioux warriors to their deaths over the falls.  

We had hoped to make it to Nipigon but as it was getting on and we still needed a grocery stop, we found ourselves at the KOA campground just outside of Thunder Bay.  It’s a nice place to camp though we didn’t take advantage of all the amenities.
