Traveling Thru North America 2018
A short drive today to Muskoka Country (cottage country for Toronto) to our first Harvest Host experience- Johnson Cranberry Marsh/ Muskoka Winery. We took a very informative tour learning all about how the farm came to be and how hard it is to be a farmer, as well as a lot of information on growing […]

The next day we headed to Algonquin Provincial Park. This is a huge park of spruce, ash, fir, and pine forest and many, many lakes both large and small. There […]

Our 3 km Chikanishing hike takes 2 hours as there is lots of scrambling over pink and red granite rocks. Georgian Bay is a beautiful blue in the sun. We see […]

Later in the afternoon, we head […]

Read More →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 […]
Read More →A lot of traveling the past two days not much sightseeing. Left Winnipeg on Saturday for a trip up to Gimli “New Iceland”. Icelandic people immigrated here a long time ago to Lake Winnipeg invited by the Canadian government. At first living in sod houses and slowly progressing into the summer destination it is today, […]
