Aug 25, 2012 - Llama lore

Ignace, ON. We have definitely left the farming and ranch country of the prairies of Manitoba and Saskatchewan and are now travelling through the lake country of Ontario. We are seeing lake after lake after lake, and that is from the TransCanada Highway. Imagine how many must be out there! There is a suggestion of fall in the trees. We are seeing some yellows and reds already. Today’s journey took us to see Max the Moose. He is 18’ tall and weighs 9 tons. Even though we saw sign after sign warning us to beware of moose, Max is as close as...

We stopped for lunch at a very nice spot just east of Kenora by a...

Aug 19, 2005 - Lost in the Wilds of Ontario

The boys wanted to start the day with a quick swim before we left. I figured I should go in at least once - nearly killed me, I don't know how Ryan could spend nearly 40 minutes in there waiting for Kirsten to come and shoot the scene. After packing up, we stopped at the Park's interpretive centre, which was very worth the visit. Lots of information about the area's history, including a fascinating video about the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Other exhibits depicted the area's geology and early settlement, and also highlighted the Group...
