🍂 A September Fall Colours Tour 🍂

After two years without a trip, we were very anxious to get 🎶On the Road Again...🎶 and did for ten days. Two friends joined us, Kathy in  Harvee Too and Martha in her motorhome with her new puppy, Kelly. Of course, Shadow and Hunter came along.   
We drove 1566 km. Our route took us north on highway 11 to the Lake Temagami  area where we stayed at   two  provincial  parks, Marten River  and Finlayson Point. We saw a replica logging camp at Marten River.

We also stayed at Kettle Lakes Provincial Park.  The  parks are very nice, with nature trails and bike paths. The  fall colour change was well underway. We visited Cobalt, a Parks Canada National Historic Site. The mining attractions and exhibits were very interesting.  
We had to make an emergency stop at Earlton RV . The driver side windshield wiper did not work making driving in the rain a challenge. They did not have the necessary part but switched the wiper with the passenger side one and we were good to go. 
We stayed at  Wawa RV Campground and visited the famous goose before continuing south on highway 17 along Lake Superior and an overnight at Pancake Bay Provincial Park. The  colours were spectacular through Lake Superior Provincial Park. Our last stop on the trip was at Grundy Lake Provincial Park for lunch and use of the dumping station.

Another Year in the Pandemic

 2021 begins as 2020 ended with Canada and the world struggling to contain the covid-19 pandemic. 2020 was the first year where we did not go on a trip although, in an effort to use up year old gas, I did drive to North Bay one day, to Huntsville another time. The third and longest outing was to Barrie; Jean and Shadow joined me on that one.

Harvee Too is in hibernation with a fresh tank of treated gas.

RVing in 2021 does not look promising either as there are now variants of covid-19 and the vaccine rollout sputters along.
