Not Just Alaska

Clear skies at Alona Bay were replaced by clouds, cold and rain as we made our way to Sleeping Giant Provincial Park just outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The long drive around the lakehead was uneventful but our attempts to find convenient free wi-fi on the road were frustrated. We did find a couple of places, however, the parking lots could not accommodate trailers, even a tiny one like ours! We will have to adjust our plans to account for the reality that free wi-fi is not as plentiful as it is back home.

While going for a stroll around the campsite we literally ran into a deer and then discovered some of its friends. They didn’t seem too concerned about the humans and dogs around.

Sleeping Giant Provincial Park has incredible views out into Lake Superior. If you are lucky enough to camp here, some of the tent/small trailer no hook up sites have steps to take you down to the water. There is also a beautiful sandy beach at one end of Park. There were still plenty of sites available when we arrived late in the afternoon. That could be because even on the Victoria Day long weekend summer hasn’t necessarily begun. It was windy and chilly, but that hasn’t stopped a few hardy folks from still setting up camp and enjoying themselves.

Tomorrow should be our last day in Ontario as we continue to make our way west.Leia mais
