Sudbury Area & the Big Nickel

We are at Espanola, ON, right at home in a pulp mill town. Correction to my last post, we are camped at Lake Apsey, very small, quiet campground about 20 sites and half are set-up for the long term. They also have a few cabins, nice little sand beach and people are out fishing but we haven’t noticed if they are catching anything.

Yesterday we went into Sudbury and saw the BIG nickel, also toured Dynamic Earth, a demonstration mine. You start out in a 19^th century mine complete with low, drippy ceilings and puddles on the floor, then progress to the 1950’s and eventually the modern version. Denis got the big nickel t-shirt! We stopped at an RV dealer and bought the awning part.

This morning, after much reading and worrying, Denis replaced the part in the awning and Voila! It works like magic, another skill to add to his handyman resume. We are doing laundry, amazing how similar Laundromats are no matter where they are. We haven't got any pictures ready but promise some with the next post.

Tomorrow we are moving on, Manitoulin Island is our next destination, then the Bruce Peninsula. We have a spot reserved in Ottawa starting June 30 and we plan to see Jeanne & Ron (in Perth) on the 29^th if they are available.
