Arrived in South Baymouth without incident and got on the road. 276 miles of beautiful lake-studded countryside. The lakes are a gorgeous, blue-turquoise with lots of little coves with nice beaches. I can’t imagine how different it must be here in the winter, brrrrr! The roadsides are littered with Queen Anne’s Lace, Asters and a sweet little, yellow something but no trash. Six hours of driving and we saw one plastic bottle and one glass bottle. They have Adopt-A-Highway up here but I bet the volunteers are bored stiff because there is nothing to clean up. Arrived in Pancake Bay with enough time for a swim in Lake Superior. The beach was awesome, hot, sunny sand and frigid water! Much to chilly for Alden and me but Tilghman and Sully enjoyed a nice long dip. Tacos for dinner tent-side and to bed early, as it had been a long day.
Woke up this morning to the sound of Loons with pancakes in honor of our lovely campsite and on the road by 8. We are shooting for a bit west of Thunder Bay to a place called Kakabeka Falls (Acka-backa-soda cracker!). Had a guy stop by our site this am to tell us that is the place to go! Hilly, rocky, lakeside scenery today with a stop for a blanket, as it was 56 degrees this am and we expect it to get chillier as we head into the mountains by the week’s end. The children are doing better and better, the first two days were a bit edgy, as we got into the routine of sitting in the car for 8 hours a day, but by now they get it, and yesterday was scads better.
