1230 Hwy. 17 E. Kenora, Ontario, Canada, P9N 1L9, 807-468-8845
It was a long day of driving. We left Regina in early morning and passed through more prairie land and wheat fields into Manitoba. We drove through fields of wheat, some harvested and some awaiting harvest. We saw a few fields of corn, sunflowers, potatoes and one large field of cabbages. We ...

There is something to be said about driving through Northern Ontario listening to the Tragically Hip and Neil Young while Mother Nature decides to rain or not.
We got up at 6:00am this morning to start probably our longest day of driving. Unfortunately it rained all night and our tent now has a home all over the back of the car attempting to drive. This did not stop us. We drove to Lake Superior National Park which is probably one of the most ...

We zipped through Manitoba, only stopping to gas up in Brandon and eat at the first ever A&W in the country (in Winnipeg).
After our burgers and fries (oh, what i would do for a little variety at fast food joints... ), we got caught in a massive downpour so despite our rain gear, our boots and gloves and a lot of my clothes in my saddle bags got wet... But then ...
... for years - unbelievable! The further west we traveled, there are less large rock outcroppings, no cliffs, more sand, less grass and then we hit Dryden. Surprisingly, it is surrounded by farmland, range cattle, huge arch ribbed barns, hay, horse ranches and dairies on relatively flat, stone free land. Close to downtown is the Weyerhaeuser Pulp mill. It is a HUGE facility (probably bigger than the one in Hinton, AB) and is the areas main employer. The next day, we heard ...
Kenora, Ontario, Canada jimcabay"Minaki: Population 350" said the announcement as we slowed into "the quaint town that has grown with tourism since the rail" was built right through the town. Where did this voice and this information come from? I didn't even know there was a loudspeaker until now. We've been sitting here for ...
Minaki, Ontario, Canada lolly... like "....and my wife's clothes were switched and many other things changed. I read about this in the National Enquirer all the time and I think it's happening to me and someone is running off with my kids." We tuned in half way through the story, and weren't sure if it was the CBC or not, I thought for sure it was a morning show with a joke newscast, but it turned out to be the real news on CBC. Freaky. Later, H.
Kenora, Ontario, Canada campbellzooHere is a short update of our life in-between Baker Lake and our world adventure: With all of our worldly belongings packed up in the basement of my parent's house, we have been living out of a suitcase and staying between our parents' places. We've spent most of the last few weeks going to appointments, getting shots, having a root canal (Rea only), and buying the last few items needed from our lists. We did get out to a couple of movies ...
Kenora, Ontario, Canada reaandtim... in celebration of the bet I'd lost to him. In an effort to get the full sleaze potential out of my moustache, I borrowed some eye-hugging, little sunglasses and said, "Kath. Can we go into town later so I can pick up some ladies?" So that I wouldn't suffer alone, I guess, turtle-haired Johnny had also grown a terrible moustache. He wore the pelvis-hugging navy shorts he'd bought as a joke on Adam's birthday, so he looked like a real greasebag as ...
