We continue our way East and have finally left the Canadian Badlands and the Prairie, heading Southeast to the Great Lakes. And what a change in scenery it was, as we left Manitoba and entered Ontario, turning South and following Hwy 71 and Hwy 11/17 and the hundreds of little lakes to Thunder Bay. This is paradise for everyone who loves to hunt and fish, but for us it is just plain beautiful nature, reminding us of very much of Arcadia NP in Maine with its forests and lakes. And even so we didn't see any Moose, we saw plenty of smaller game and many of birds. We continued to make our way along the shoreline of Lake Superior and through many of First Nation Territory, before we found a nice place to rest in Wawa (ever heard of it?). The plan is to continue the shorelines of the Great Lakes (weather permitting) as we work our way East. So far the forecast is for sun or cloudy skies, but riding has been good with nicely undulated roads, and long, smooth curves, and traffic really very moderate. None of all the bad things all told us about riding the Trans Canada Highway(s).
