As we lay in bed the rain started. Fine all night, then just as we are about to get up the rain starts and soaks the tent. However, it didn’t last long and the sun came out and dried the tent for us. A peaceful night. After writing the blog…
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…
It’s already 1st July. The time is simply flying. In order to avoid queueing for the shower, I was up early (7 am) this morning. Having seen the queue last night, I did not want that experience. I was lucky, no waiting. The day started dull and overcast. We thought…
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…
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…

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…
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…
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…
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…
