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.

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

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

It was time to take the hostages for another outing and we all agreed that canoeing may be fun. We decided to go to Canal Lake, a small lake in the Kawartha Lakes area. The lake is only an hour away from us; a perfect short canoeing/picnic lunch outing. As our tradition is to find … Continue reading Canal Lake Day Trip
It's been a while since we had a Coronavirus update from the farm. We were able to go on a few trips in Ontario and life in general feels almost normal—as long as we wear a mask, stay away from people, and stay on this side of the border, both provincial and international. We have … Continue reading The Coronavirus Diaries – It’s Been a While
