Days 1-2 - Drive, Drive, Drive

It is early Monday morning (well, not THAT early) and we are just getting going after two days of driving. Saturday we left Toronto at around 9am and drove for about 11 hours to get to Otanga Provincial Park about 100km west of Wawa. We were trying for a national park, but that would have been at least another hour and a half, so we settled for a quiet campground on a small lake. Saturday was a weird day. We had sun for a good part of the day, but then after about Nairn Centre to almost Sault Ste Marie, it poured rain. We drove through several thunderstorm cells and saw plenty of lightning, including a really big strike in Spanish. It cleared up after that and we haven't seen too many clouds since.

Yesterday, we found out my friend Jeff's work schedule, so we decided to try for Winnipeg. The time zones helped us out in that regard, giving us an extra hour of daylight to drive. We left our campground at 815am and arrived in Winnipeg at 10pm, which is was a little less than 15 hours given the time change. Our only stop was lunch at Kakabeka Falls PP outside of Thunder Bay. Fortunately, our stay at Otanga gave us free access, so we took advantage.

Not too many photos yet, and the camera is downstairs at the bottom of my bag, so maybe I'll post a pic or two later. :)

But for now, off for breakfast in Winnipeg!
