While looking for a place to wash our very dirty RV we purchased diesel super cheap $1.00 per L, it was just like the Ikea commercial “quick start the car before they notice 😀” never did find a place to get it washed. On our way out of Thunder Bay we stop at the Terry […]

Left Barwick early for the long drive to Thunder Bay. This part of Ontario is sparsely populated more lakes,bridges,float planes, summer cottages and boats. We see lots of solar panels sitting in empty fields, some articulated but mostly they are fixed. The road up is in fairly good shape, mostly straight with several long sections […]
