Day 5, Enter the Prairie

Headed to Winnipeg, Manitoba after 4 straight days of driving we will finally be leaving Ontario! What a beautiful province though, mountains, meadows, canyons, farms, forests and heaps of lakes!

Last night we spent the night at Kakabeca Falls Provincial Park.

Canadians take recreation seriously and as a result their parks

are beautiful. Lots to do and see and very clean. Went for a

swim in the Kaministiqua River and roasted weenies over

the campfire, to bed by 9. The crazy thing is, that it did not

really get dark until about 10:30pm. We will cross into central

time today so that will shorten up the days a bit but being

so far north really makes for a long day.

Saw two bucks on the side of the road this morning

with velvety antlers, still on the lookout for bears and

moose. A lady in Terrace Bay told us

that she sometimes sees bears in the berries on

the side of the road so we are hopeful that we will

get a glimpse. As for the moose, we

are hoping for a peek at a nice safe distance.
