If you are travelling on the TransCanada Highway in Northern Ontario and you just passed Blind river, keep an eye out for Mississagi Falls. The Maciver's Motel is to your right and 200 metres after that a dirt road to your left leads to a perfect, out-of-the-way, lunch stop. Drive in and you are greeted … Continue reading Mississagi Falls
Agawa Rock is one of the few pictograph sites in Ontario accessible by foot. It can be found in Lake Superior Provincial Park 9 km north of Agawa Bay Campground.

When I look at this photo it takes me back to a very long walk on a California beach. I walked for many miles. A relaxing, but interesting walk due to the abundance of curious characters one can find on a California beach.

Since we were going on a trip, I gave it to him a few days before his actual birthday. He really really liked it. … Continue reading The Coronavirus Diaries – We Found the Hatch

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
