Day 5 - Dryden Ontario

Yesterday we drove from Nipigon to Dryden which was actually a pretty long haul with the kids and the time change just after Thunder Bay. We turned our clocks back one hour at that point.

Initially we were going to stop in Ignace but we decided to march on since we wanted to get out of Ontario by today.

Mike spotted 2 bald eagles feasting on a dead snake in a little field and turned around to get a picture of them. They didn't really care to be disturbed so the picture isn't great but we did snap it so we were pretty happy.



We have had limited cell reception with my Mom and Step-Dad and everyone else for that matter. I wasn’t able to get online last night when we stopped so hopefully today I can update the blog. I usually write about the night before while we’re driving so I’m not spending all my time in the trailer updating pictures etc…

Today we’re aiming for somewhere around Winnipeg. Once you get into Manitoba you usually have to get off the Trans Canada Highway to get a decent campground so we’ll have to see once we get there where we’ll stay.

I realized this morning that I didn’t take a single picture of the campsite in Dryden. Maybe that’s because it was a bit rainy and the mosquitoes were really brutal. I’m not sure. I’ll have to remember not to do that next time.

We’ve hired Sofie to sing Mr. Sun and Rain Rain Go Away which works more often than not in bringing us better weather. Everywhere we go people say that the weather has been hopeless this summer and that the day we are there is the best day they've had yet so I guess we're chasing the sun out West. Hope we can keep up!!
