I don't remember taking this photo. The location is Delta, Colorado, but I don't have any accessible memories of this place. This was taken only two and a half years ago, but looking at the map and the other photos taken in that same area does not bring up any memories either. If we had … Continue reading [ONE PHOTO AT A TIME] Blogging for Memories
During our trip to Lake Superior we were able to visit another Still Standing town. Wawa is known in Canada as the place where hitchhikers get stuck and eventually settle down and stay. We didn't hitchhike, so we were able to leave and tell the tale. If you are in the area, at least stop … Continue reading Are They Still Standing in Wawa?
Pukaskwa National Park is one of our favourite places and one of our favourite Ontario national parks to date. The beautiful, rugged landscape, the ancient and recent history, and the art connection are both luring and alluring. Pukaskwa National Park campsites are first come, first served sites and you cannot make reservations ahead of time. … Continue reading Pukaskwa National Park
We would have missed Ripple Rock if we didn't know about it beforehand. Cars zip along Highway 17 East not realizing that right by the side of the road there is an exposed ancient sea bed. If you are in the Lake Huron's North Shores area, go west from Bruce Mines until you just pass … Continue reading Ripple Rock
We spent two fantastic boondocking nights on that gorgeous beach. One night on our way north and another on our way back south. When we arrived on the beach we were the only ones there, but several people showed up before the sun set and we all shared the small cove happily. On the first … Continue reading Radioactive Beach Glass
We have many blurry or badly composed photos that we cherish. The reality is that we can't stop every time we see something interesting, beautiful, or just memorable. We do stop a lot, but sometimes we need to set some boundaries or we'll never get anywhere. Drive-by shooting to the rescue — in many cases … Continue reading [One Photo At A Time] Drive-By Shooting
We left the north shore of Lake Huron, zipped by Sault Ste Marie, and landed on the east shore of Lake Superior. The drive is beautiful and took our time, stopping to take the sights in. It's amazing how many interesting things cross your path when you are on the road and looking for adventure! … Continue reading Along The Way
We continued north under ominous skies. The week we chose for our trip promised clear weather, but northern weather can be unpredictable at times. We managed to pass the storm system and found our second boondocking spot near Elliot Lake. Initially, we tried to go to Fort La Cloche. The road to that park went … Continue reading Elliot Lake
Bala, a popular tourist attraction since the late 1800s, was named after the Welsh town Bala. The two towns have since become twin towns. One of Bala's attractions is Bala Falls, and there are several bridges, falls, and vantage points to view the falls, all within a short walking distance from the parking lot. The … Continue reading Beautiful Bala
Abitibi Canyon Trip Summary Most of our trips take us south. In many cases, south of the border. This time we headed north as far as we could go in a more-or-less straight line. Below is a summary of our trip with links to specific posts with more details and lots of pictures. Our … Continue reading Abitibi Canyon Trip Summary
