Day 7 already!! So much to see and so little time.
We left Lloyd and Willa's before breakfast, beautiful sunny day!
The Terry Fox memorial is just a bit down the road, a good place to stop and have a snack and remember this courageous young man. It is impressive, as is the road that was carved out of the rock to get there.
It's an easy drive, road is excellent, some of it newly paved as the highway is being twinned in the Thunder Bay area. We passed the longitudinal centre of Canada, and also another date line (we're now 2 hours different from home).
The landscape is changing - from scrub trees, rocks and little ponds that look like a moose should be standing right there, to more rolling hills. We stopped for lunch at a pretty park just outside of Dryden, and after that there was good farmland.
Now our only decision is where to stop for the night. Since the date line gave us an extra hour, we decided on Richer, MB where we found a great park (with WiFi which has become our new necessity) and ended up with the last large spot.
Walk around the park the hiking paths are closed off with signs saying to keep off the trails due to the forests being so dry, amazing after all the rain they had), supper, vacuum the trailer and then to the clubhouse to post today's blog.
Tomorrow the plan is to drive into Winnipeg to the Apple store and get my charging problem solved! Then I can post some pictures!
