We have resumed our nomadic adventures out west !!![]()
Left Cincinnati Sunday June 21st , summer solstice, heading north on I 75 driving 440 mi. to Carp River campground which is 10 mi. north of St Ignace, Mi. (45 mi. south of Sault Sainte Marie Canadian border). The mosquitoes and flies at the campground were awful and caused us to burn our noodles and made us eat inside our tent. Camping is Great!!! Thought we would cook pancakes for breakfast but ended up eating breakfast bars and GOT THE H outa there. We got a Gitmo type interrogation at the Canadian border after the customs agent asked us where we worked and we told him we didn't. Alas! They let us go, we exchanged some money bought a Cuban cigar because we could and headed off to Wawa and Pukaskwa National Park. We set up camp in the National Park and took a hike because it was still light at 10:00PM. The park is on the north shore of Lake Superior so we decided to canoe the lake to see what we could see. To our surprise the lake felt more like the ocean with it's major swells when we got very far from the shore. We got smart and turned back. Today, after finally enjoying a pancake breakfast, we are enjoying the beach at Terrace Bay, Ont. and heading toward Thunder Bay. Tomorrow, June 24th,we will be hiking on the Isle Royale Nat'l Park Island in Lake Superior until June 28th PM with probably no cell phone reception. The next adventure is canoeing MN boundary waters and leave MN by July 5th.
