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?
Southern Alberta is as far as you can be from any ocean in Canada, yet at the Red Rock Coulee Natural Area, there is evidence of a long-gone inland sea that left an incredible geological phenomena behind. These large spherical martian looking red rocks are among the largest sandstone concretions in the world. Red Rocks … Continue reading [One Photo At A Time] Red Rock Coulee
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
We have thousands of photos. Most never left the safety of my hard drive, sitting there gathering digital dust. It's time to release them — one by one — to you. We will publish (roughly) once a week, one photo at a time (mostly of places, but there may be some people or events), along … Continue reading [One Photo At A Time] An Introduction
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
We are off on a new trip, but before we jump into any posts about breathtaking sceneries and exhausting hikes, we need to publish Boondocking in Ontario Part Two. We did promise you a second part for Boondocking In Ontario Part One. If you are thinking of boondocking in Ontario, please read on as there … Continue reading Boondocking in Ontario Part Two – Torrance Barrens
