Calm Sunset on Lake Superior

This was such a peaceful scene…It is a calming 10 minute video to remind of how wonderful the sound of waves are.

Camping at Agawa Bay in Lake Superior Provincial Park

One of the nicest campsites we’ve had. This site gave us enough sun for solar charging to stay for 11 days.

I thought this was a lovely scene in Nova Scotia.

2020 is all done and moving on to the first half of 2021

I really need to catch up. Yes, I keep saying that… I was disappointed that I didn’t make it out west for the winter. Winter on the Mississippi in Ontario. Snow and cold in Ontario…once I returned from the blizzard of a drive, the weather improved for a while. Some nice walks in the snow. Cooking is a fun thing in winter. This was on sale when I bought it and thought “What a wonderful…

I keep trying to catch up...so more of the out west trip in 2020

Lethbridge was a good choice. It’s a nice campground that is open all year. Sunset in Lethbridge There had been a snow storm before I arrived and everything was covered. The temperature was above zero degrees C during the day and sometimes even stayed above freezing overnight. Wishful that this is a secret portal to Arizona. As I wandered around the park I saw this sign and a little…

Heading West 2020

Really, I will get caught up! This is very VERY late in posting -LOL That fall trip wasn’t quite enough. I checked to see if I could get reservations on Vancouver Island for the winter and I was able to get good sites at a couple of beautiful RV parks. The first bunch of leaves ready to go. Ok this is an old photo, but there were more bags this year. Before heading west the leaves had to be…

Fall 2020 around Ontario – Part 8

As COVID-19 lockdowns continue I really hope to get caught up to now, so that when the restrictions are lifted and new adventures begin, this blog can stay current. While we were at home, and restrictions were eased up, we went out for a walk in the forest with a friend who has a musket and we wanted to see how that works. https://flic.kr/p/2k4okvs A man and his dog. That is a real musket. We…

Fall 2020 around Ontario – Part 7

We are not fond of long drives and I’ve often wanted to stop in at Driftwood Provincial Park. It is such a romantic name. https://flic.kr/p/2k4omqd An unserviced site with just enough sun to help us make use of our solar for a day or two. We managed to get a site and back in nicely along the waterfront. I would have preferred more sun as we weren’t plugged in and the night time temperatures…

https://flic.kr/p/2k4okn1 Sunset at Pancake Bay Provincial Park. One of the beautiful things about Pancake Bay is the beach. It’s long and lovely to walk on and watch sunsets. It is a beautiful place to start our return journey home. https://flic.kr/p/2k4okk2 Good sunny days in the fall make for fabulous lunches on the beach. My favourite things about camping in the fall are sunny days that…

Fall 2020 around Ontario – Part 5

https://flic.kr/p/2k4nD2W I was surprised at how nice our site was at Rabbit Blanket; a pull through with a step down as in the photo. There is also a short trail to the lake. We have been to Lake Superior Provincial Park a few times and only camped at the Agawa Bay campground. We know the campground well and have met up with a group of friends over the years. We have used that camp as a base to…

Fall 2020 around Ontario – Part 4

Rainbow Falls Provincial Park was next on our list. The park has two campgrounds called Rossport and Whitesand. The Rossport camp is a few kilometres west of the Whitesand campground.The Rossport camp is on the lake and looks great on a map. We had started to plan while at Kakabeka Falls and a few campsites at Rossport looked interesting. When we arrived there was only one site Linda and I liked…

After that harrowing experience driving from René Brunelle to Fushimi Lake Provincial Park, it was good to be able to hang out with fun friends in a calm place.

https://flic.kr/p/2k4omeg A nice campfire at our site. Relaxing!

This was supposed to be the last open day of the park; however, as COVID-19 had increased the number of people travelling a lot of parks extended their closing dates.…

Fall 2020 around Ontario – Part 2

Once we left Sturgeon Bay we headed to Halfway Lake, that would eventually take us up to Highway 11 and through the top of Ontario.

https://flic.kr/p/2k4nDNL A beautiful hiking trail.

I forgot to take a photo of our campsite at some of the parks as we wanted to get out there and hike. At the early parks we were only staying one night and that meant set up hike then dinner and prepare for the…

Fall 2020 around Ontario part 1

We had planned on meeting friends from the USA at Agawa Bay campground in Lake Superior Provincial Park. We all made bookings in early May and looked quite forward to getting together. Thanks to COVID-19 we had to change plans as they could not join us. Diane and Kim and Linda and I decided to do a Northern Ontario trip instead.

It’s been a trying year as there is worry about the COVID-19 virus.

https://flic.kr/p/2jNgJ4s Storm finishing up near Carleton Place.

Like the virus, all storms will eventually leave.

We have a large window at home and a bird flew into it one day. I heard it and went out to have a look. This tiny bird was laying on the ground, still breathing. I picked it up and put it in a box with a…

Beginning a summer camping season - through COV-19

Beginning a summer camping season – through COV-19

We are not fans of camping in the summer here in Ontario…there are just two many people. But this year has not been normal. We had the itch and hooked up.

https://flic.kr/p/2jBhDsi At Bonnechere Provincial Park…the first campsite.

We met up with Diane and Kim for a ten day trip through some parks. The first park on the list was Bonnechere Provincial Park and once there we wished we had…

Home and 14 days of Quarantine

Home and 14 days of Quarantine

So I made it home and the quarantine started. Luckily, I had enough food for at least two weeks in the trailer. Linda had shopped as well and she had enough supplies for the two of us for at least a couple of weeks. From that point of view, we’re doing well.

As Linda wasn’t going to be distancing from me for two weeks, we were both under quarantine for the two weeks.
