We got off on a early start and we’re out of Winnipeg before eight. Not too far down the road we went by a sign letting us know we just passed the center of Canada, between the east and the west. Canada is a very wide country.
Today we drove over 500 miles, around 10 hours and crossed the border back into the US. The drive had us leaving the plains, and moving into the woodlands of the north. When we reached Ontario there were many little lakes as well as many more trees. Then, we crossed the border back into the United States and soon could see Lake Superior, one of the Great Lakes. We had a nice several days in Canada and now it’s time to head back into the States. This trip was focused around being sure to be in the Twin Cities in Minnesota for our nephew's July 1 wedding.
There are really a lot of trees and green in this area. And sweet little woodland lakes and appear as we drove by. And periodically we would see whole fields of wildflowers alongside the road.
It rained much of the day and there were too many trucks on this mostly two lane road, so we were happy to finally arrive at our old time lake resort right on the shore of Lake Superior. We were happy to be able to walk along the lake shore. This is the closest thing to an ocean that they have in the middle of the country. You can't see the far edge of the lake. It is stunning.
We went to a local restaurant for a walleye fish dinner. Delicious! Good, fresh water fish.
To bed early, for a good night's sleep. Ready to start our Minnesota adventures.
