We had a very restful night after our big ordeal and great rescue. It was a beautiful day and we decided to check out a few more places instead of going straight home. It looks like we are over the trauma. First, we headed 15 miles back north to the northeastern tip of the UP … Continue reading Pukaskwa Camp Hosting: September 28-29

There is a long (18km) hike in the park that takes you to a suspension bridge and a waterfall. Initially we planned to hike it, but couldn’t find the energy and commitment to do it. Plus it was very muddy after all the rain. Instead, we walked over to an ATV suspended bridge by the … Continue reading Pukaskwa Camp Hosting: September 23

We drove to Marathon for groceries and spotted a Hymer Aktiv van in one of the parking lots. Hymer Aktiv is the Carado Banff’s cousin, both orphaned when Roadtrek went out of business. I wanted to stop and chat, but Tony insisted to press on. Oh well. We drove about 80 km west to … Continue reading Pukaskwa Camp Hosting: September 16

Another cool night, but the space heater kept us nice and warm. We woke up to the soft sound of rain showers which stayed with us during the entire day.

We slept really well after an exhausting evening as camp hosts. After a good breakfast we drove to Marathon and hiked to Lagoon beach with the aid of an unclear map that was hard to interpret. After some trials and errors, some of which took us through culverts, over culverts, and over the railway tracks, we … Continue reading Pukaskwa Camp Hosting: September 13
