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. A few minutes later everything calmed down again because someone started feeding … Continue reading [ONE PHOTO AT A TIME] Comfort in Chaos
There is a lot that is wrong with this photo. I tried to edit it, but whenever I made a correction it lost its soul. I left it alone. Sometimes the flaws are what makes it work and you just need to let it be.
We love it when we come up with a new way to repurpose a space in the van! You may remember that we carry our fresh drinking water on board and save the water in the tanks for showering, flushing, dishwashing, etc. This expands our water capacity significantly. It's all good except water take up … Continue reading A Window Well
It started with a camping chair. Actually, it all started with our October birthdays. I recently saw Tony eye a director's chair and decided to buy him one for his birthday. 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
Remember Brexit? Just checking to see if anyone remember the crazy stuff that went on before crazy was the new normal. It seems as this was part of someone else's life in a parallel universe.
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 interrupt our Lake Superior travel series for a breaking Coronavirus Diaries update. The deer stopped coming to eat in the paddock at dusk. We thought it moved on, either to another world, or to literally greener pastures. The deer vanished. We wondered why the deer was alone. Was it a young buck looking for … Continue reading The Coronavirus Diaries: What happened to the Deer?
