After a very rainy cold Sunday in Thunder Bay, we set off for Sleeping Giant Park. Along the way we found the fish shop that we spent a good deal of time looking for on Sunday, so we loaded our fridge with fish, smoked and fresh and also an excellent piece of carrot cake to share. I just managed to escape without an amethyst bracelet. We were camped at Marie Louise Lake (in Sleeping Giant Park) and by noon we were on one of the hiking trails, we went to see the Sea Lion a rock formation that looks like it's name sake. We continued on to Tee Harbour but just short of there we met a mama bear and 2 cubs, we promptly turned around and followed a path to the lake, waited about 15 minutes and tried again, this time using a whistle to forewarn her but she was still there, after a third attempt we decided she took precedence and headed back. Good hike we covered about 13 km, and Denis' feet held up. We drove up to Thunder Bay Lookout, where there is a platform out over the cliff 100 m up. We enjoyed a nice evening by the fire in spite of mosquitos and flies and lake trout for supper.
Today we visited Ouimet Canyon, we didn't realize before hand that we couldn't take the trailer up there, so we parked and hiked 3 km uphill. Pretty impressive canyon but after the 3 km up and 1 km around the site and 3 km down Denis feet are complaining. We are having a long driving afternoon, should be in Wawa tonight.
Haven't time for pics and map update but will get that done for next post.
Hi Mom. Both topsy turvys are planted and surviving so far. I've got 14 tomatoes potted in full season planters and upgrading my hotbox to fit them. All the potato seed you gave me has come up along with most of what I had. No pictures obviously. Enjoy your tours. Derek
ReplyDeleteWow that's good, I'll have to come to you for tomatoes this fall! Love you.
