12 September, 2017,   Blog Post No. 16 10 September – On the downhill run now.   480 km.   Made it thru to Whiteshell Provincial Park just east of Winnipeg where we had stayed on the eastward leg.   Huge improvement in weather, back to shorts and T shirt.   Upsala, English River, Ignace, Dyment, Dinorwic, Wabigoon, Dryden, Minnitaki, Vermillion Bay, Kenora all flashed past in a blur of Tim Hortons and ESSO stations and the inevitable roadworks slowdowns.   I think the Ontario/Federal Govt is taking its slogan “Build on the North” seriously.   The road contracts seem to be enormous judging by the amount of equipment deployed.   F airly straight run home now, dodging fires and snow.   Clearing Ontario was a great milestone, tho the return weather was much clearer and the views around the top of Lake Superior more spectacular.   We were lured into a superior “Trading Store” in Upsala to buy fudge for stay-awake energy and came out wi...

30 August, 2017,   Blog Post No. 12 28 August – St Andrews campground by the sea had the most wonderful sea view.   Chatted to our neighbor, a retired US biologist from Florida, who spends his retirement volunteering for biological conservation projects.   Drove to Perth Andover via the River Valley Scenic Drive which followed the mighty St John River, one of the most beautiful drives we have done.   Saw a couple of the covered bridges for which NB is famous and put a couple of the ubiquitous graveyards to good use to exercise the dogs.   Churches and graveyards appear very frequently as we drive the minor highways, they will be top priority for dog breaks in future.   Another beautiful campground beside the river.   Took the dogs for a walk where they distinguished themselves by charging a flock of grazing Canada geese, who took off in a great honking huff.   Had a swim in the camp pool, Kirsty managed a length, P took the plunge and almos...

4 September, 2017,   Blog Post No. 13 31 August – Percé to Bel Air camping at Sainte-Madeleine-de la Riviere Madeleine.   We stayed at a private camp at Percé which was almost empty, but with a magnificent sea view. The day started out in beautiful crisp sunshine and ended in a miserable cold downpour as we were setting up camp.   The weather is definitely moving into fall mode.   When it rains you would swear it could snow, but despite this, no massive changing of leaves to Fall colors.   Only odd trees and branches here and there have changed.   The camp at Percé was notable for supplying magazines in the men’s loo, definitely a step up in sophistication by the Quebecois.   Strong winds in the night shook the van. This day marks the beginning of our return journey.   As we rounded the Cap de Rosiers in the Forillon National Park, we finally stopped moving East and turned to the West.   Magnificent national park, wonderful beach vist...
