Day 72. Wednesday 10th July. St-Roche-de-Richelieu to Deschaillons-sur-St-Laurent

After a shower, shave and things, the next job required, clean the Landy. It’s been looking pretty crusty lately. On the road by 11.30am.  It’s different, Quebec. It’s very very French, and lovely. The little towns are quaint and there is lots of pride in their houses and gardens. It’s…

Day 70. Monday 8 July. Ottawa to Wendover. Ontario

We were hoping to catch up with Kevin the Ottawa Land Rover club President, before venturing into the city. For whatever reason, sadly, it didn’t happen. On the way out of the Wesley Clover camp site I popped into the office to inform the staff that it was one of…

Day 68. Saturday 6th July. Toronto to 20k’s east of Marmora. Ontario.

An inauspicious start to the day. At 6am I decided to go down to the Landy and get the Sat-nav to update it while we had wifi.  While there, put the key in and started it. Everything seemed fine. Went back up to the room and managed to get a…

Day 66. Thursday 4th July. Niagara.

Today we rest.  The plan is to do some more washing then visit the falls. Rather than fight the traffic and the need to find  car park etc., we decide to catch a bus. There’s a stop right outside the campsite and buses go very 15min.  Everyone’s at the fenced…

Day 64. Tuesday 2nd July. Bay City Campsite. Michigan. 30k’s East of London, Ontario.

What a hot and sticky night!  This morning just before we are about to get up, it started to rain. Steady, persistent rain. Great. After shower the chore was to take the Caranex down, soaking wet.  I have to say all credit to the Michigan State Campsites. Well run and…

Day 62. 30th June. Sault St Marie Ontario to Cheboygan. Michigan. USA.

We camped up a forestry road last night, as there were no suitable places on the lake front.  This camp site, a good one. Far enough off the main track, to be isolated. In a little clearing, big enough to allow the sun to shine on us and the solar…

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 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 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 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…
