Month: June 2019

day 61. 29th June. Terrace Bay to 70 ks short of Sault Saint Marie, commonly known as ‘The Soo”

This morning when we were packing up the mosquitoes were rampant. They have been worse for the last couple of days and to add to the pestilence, we have horse flies. The scenery remains the same as yesterday, Pretty, hilly with gently winding roads, forests, glimpses of Lake Superior and…

Day 60. Friday 26th June. 2019. 25k’s West of Thunder Bay to Terrace Bay. Trans Canada Highway East. Ontario.

Our camp site last night was not the best. Surrounded by trees and not a breath of a breeze. It was hot and muggy, (humid). Muggy and Buggy. Mosquito’s and No-Seeums feasted. We are set up to deal with mosquito’s, but the ‘No-Seeums’. They are minute and just fly straight…

Day 59. Thursday, 27th June. Just West of Dryden to near Kakabeka Falls.

A beautiful sunny day when we left our nicely mowed field, which Ryan had kindly let us set up camp in last night. (Ryan, Dennis says when you to pick up the skidoo, take a knife as he has cable-tied the cover over it!)  The temperature is supposed to reach…

Day 58. Wednesday 26th June. Steinbach, Manitoba to 20k’s west of Dryden, Ontario.

A good sleep. I was tired yesterday. Yes, and grumpy…:) Despite being only about 1k away from the railway line, I didn’t hear a peep.  There is a recurring process going on here, with the weather. This morning it has dawned a beautiful clear sky but I am sure cumulus…

Day 57. Tuesday, 25th June. From 35k’s West of Winnipeg to 60k’s East of Winnipeg

Today was a bit different. Instead of driving for most of the day, we spent more of the time sight seeing. When I came back from my shower I found Dennis ensconced in the Land Rover, cooking porridge with our camping neighbour, Frank. Frank and his wife, Margaret, are a…

Day 56. Monday 24th June. From Erickson to 60k’s short of Winnipeg. Manitoba.

A fine morning. Great. A few little things to attend to on the wagon. Top up the oil and coolant. Check the filter housing for leaks. Problem solved.  I’m pleased to report the mods to the (Caranex) seem to be working well too. I drilled a hole in each side…

Day 55. Sunday, 23rd June From Canora Saskatchewan to Erickson Manitoba.

Another night with rain, but fine when we awoke, so the tent had dried off a bit. Storm clouds seemed to be approaching though, so we made our first task packing up the tent. I had been looking forward to a shower and hair wash, after a couple of days…

Day 54. 22nd June. East of Saskatoon to Canora. Saskatchewan.

What a night!  Jen woke me at some ungodly hour saying ”do you think we should check the tent”.  Good call as there must have been 30L sitting on the roof in a puddle!  As Jen mentioned yesterday, we seemed to have developed a slight diesel leak from the filter…

Day 53. Friday 21st June. From Ederton to just past Saskatoon.

Leaving the race track camp site, small critters were scattering everywhere. We think some were marmots – the ones that stand on their hind legs and survey the scene for predators and some we have called “gofers”. They are tiny, run very fast and have stand up tails. As soon…

Day 52. 20th August. Edmonton to Edgerton. Alberta.

First up. Happy Birthday Charley. 8 years old!!  Charley is Sarah & Tim’s eldest and is a gorgeous, smart wee girl.  The day has dawned wet and miserable, but our time in Edmonton is coming to an end.  After a breakfast at Saratoga, a superbly run family restaurant, serving large…
