Best Western Crossroads Motor Inn Thunder Bay

Thunder Bay is a small industrial town on the northwest shore of Lake Superior, and getting close to the boarder between Ontario &amp; Manitoba. The city itself is pretty basic, with few sites or places of interest. The two spots we did make the time to visit were the Terry Fox memorial &amp; Kakabeka Falls.<br><br>Terry Fox is a Canadian icon, a truly inspirational character who deserves to be remembered as a hero to all those who are faced ...

Wir sind bereits um 7 Uhr aufgestanden, um eine Wanderung zu machen, welche der Tiere wegen am frühen Morgen oder Abend empfohlen wird.<br><br>Nachdem wir den Sonnenaufgang bestaunen konnten, machten wir uns auf den Weg.

... route all the way through Ontario, Canada, and led us to decide against a ferry ride and overnight stay in Madeline Island. Instead, we proceeded to Duluth and Tofte, MN by way of Hwy 61, which abuts the U.S. side of western Lake Superior. The Cliff Dweller (a well maintained motel with private balconies directly overlooking Lake Superior) in Tofte, was a great deal. A little farther along Hwy 61, Canyon River ...

After a very long drive we've finially made it to Thunder Bay, Ontario. We started today a little late because we wanted to see something of Winnipeg. We did a 45 min tour of the Royal Canadian Mint which was really interesting. They were making coins for Costa Rica while we were there. They actually make coins for over 70 countries, not just Canada.<br>After we went to the Forks market which is a lot like ...

... left Winnipeg under cloudy skies. Before we got out of the city limits, we saw two major accidents - going west, fortunately. As it was -9 overnight, there must have been some very icy spots. As some of you may know, there's a lot of concern about the Red River (which flows through Winnipeg) flooding. There are currently major floods in North Dakota and they are headed towards Winnipeg. The ETA is about 5 days away - that's why we ...

... relaxation and explore Silver Islet which is private land at the very south of the peninsula park that included the richest silver mine in the world (so the sign says). Two nights were spent on Finlay Bay isolated from the Labour Day long-weekend campers where we found Moose bones scattered around the bay -- kept a lower jaw bone with huge teeth to mount in the truck and donated ...

... him - quality bonding! Our recently purchased single-serving packets of lunchmeat enthralled Dalia, a vegetarian. Etc etc. Then Dalia and I took our 10-day old garbage bag, along with our newly acquired trash, and threw it away across the street. Yay! We celebrated with fruit leathers. We each had a flavor that the other hadn't tasted before, so we criss-crossed our arms and each leaned in to take a bite out of the others. Simple things like this amuse us out here. You'd swear ...

... wet from this morning's heavy dew. We stayed at the Timberline Motel in Shabaqua Ontario for $50, which wasn't too bad. This motel was a combination motel, store, restaurant, beer store and liquor store. The weather cleared up so we were able to set up our tents to dry them out. This also gave Bob an opportunity to repack as his load was shifting and coming loose. We also cleaned up our bikes; now all nice and sparkly. We did as much ...
