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

Because we are staying put in one place for so long, we start exploring some of the lesser known places around the park. Today, our plan was to go and find the big dunes at the mouth of Pic River. The dunes are located within the Pic First Nation's territory which is just outside the … Continue reading Pukaskwa Camp Hosting: September 22

Sometimes you can hear Lake Superior roar and howl at night. Last night was one of those nights; windy and rainy, while we were warm and cozy in our little van. There will be intermittent rain today, so it will be a good day to catch up on emails and posts and let the kids … Continue reading Pukaskwa Camp Hosting: September 21

Another beautiful morning and this time it is much warmer. We decided to go to Neys Provincial Park for a hike. Our plan was to check online the different trails and decide which one to take, but strangely, there was no reception at all as we drove out of the park. There was no reception … Continue reading Pukaskwa Camp Hosting: September 20

We woke up to a sunny but cooler day (14c/57f). After a quick breakfast we drove to Mink Falls, a spectacular waterfall situated about 16 km west of Marathon. A short, steep trail leads to the first viewing point. We are at this point on top of the waterfall with views of the river approaching … Continue reading Pukaskwa Camp Hosting: September 19

We finally managed to wake up before 8am, drank only one pot of coffee and were able to have an earlier start to our day. It is Saturday and the visitor centre is open on weekends in the off-season, so we went to look at the displays first. We loved the women's regalia. Examined the … Continue reading Pukaskwa Camp Hosting: September 18

It was rainy and foggy, and we decided to drive to Marathon, mostly to do some housekeeping stuff that required stable internet and good cell reception. We drove to Carden Cove and took advantage of a break in the rain to go for a long walk on the beach. There were lots of little brooks … Continue reading Pukaskwa Camp Hosting: September 17

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. The past few warm and sunny days were a bonus and a blessing. Since we didn’t feel like hiking in the rain we just stayed … Continue reading Pukaskwa Camp Hosting: September 15
