In Nipigon

Left the "Soo" this morning between showers. The showers were off and on until we reached Wawa. The wet roads did manage to clean off all the dirt we got on the rig two days ago traveling the dirt roads to a campground.
Had planned to do the "northern route" but decided to do the lake head to see how the truck handles 21000+ pounds on steep hills. Can still pass the semi's going up a steep short hill! Fuel milage suffers a bit but still well within my estimates.
The sun came out after we left Wawa and by the time we reached Nipigon  temperatures reached 25C. Settled in for the night. Good rum, good food and we leave tomorrow for Dryden.
Have been told that I have to be in Brandon by Sunday as it is fathers day. We'll see!!

  1. The pictures are great; the blog is superb, and your "daring", (as in...passing semi's going up steep hills), is commendable. We really feel that we're along for the ride.
    Gerry McKiel stopped by today to ask about you so we shared your URL with him. We'll pass the wine comment on to Joe Foy.
    ...will be thinking of you on Sunday as you're royally greeted in Brandon, (our love to the family). We're off to spend the weekend in East Green Harbour. Happy trails to You... C.andP.
