Days 3 and 4

Us getting ready to take flight next to the Wawa goose.

The Shania Twain museum was a bit of a bust given that none of us are particularly big fans. More interesting was the mine museum (in the same building and divided by the Shania Twain museum only by a gift shop), where you get to dress up as a miner, and go into the mine. Not sure why or how this is affiliated with Shania Twain other than geography, but unfortunately, we didn't have time to do the tour.

Next up, we took a bit of a detour to check out lake Superior provincial park, which is among some of the nicest Northern Ontario scenery I have ever seen. This was easily one of the highlights of the trip, with us taking several hikes, one of which was essentially up through the middle of a rocky river, having to take detours around the more treacherous parts. Swimming in a few of the calmer pools was also quite refreshing. Also checked out some pictographs from many yesteryears ago. Spent a night there in a beautiful campground with a vast, expansive rock-beach, of which there is a picture on the left here. Still getting used to this whole insert-your-photo-here formatting...

Spent hours "seeing things" in the clouds.

Where's waldo?-->

Just below is Oz and Hus relaxing at one of the many waterfalls we saw along our epic hike.

Above is Kakabeka falls, just west of Thunder Bay; this is where we spent the night. For some reason, at the time we thought this made more sense than checking out the Sleeping Giant. Funnily enough, with all the people we know in Thunder Bay, none of them happened to be available at the exact moment we were passing through on less than 24 hours notice. Anyhow, the park ranger dude we met in Kakabeka falls was one of the nicest people we met along the entire trip; we debated through the rest of the trip (usually whenever we met another nice park employee) as to whether this type of person is attracted to that type of job, or whether that type of job produces such a laid back, genuinely nice person. We also got really lucky with camping, and only got rained on once or twice throughout the whole trip.

That's it for today. Might be going to Tofino for a few days to go surfing, so might not be posting for a bit. Stay tuned for time travelling and the set of the next James Bond movie.
