Up with the sun errrr I mean TRAIN!! At 5:30. I did not notice that there were train tracks outside my room. Once my heart started beating I got out of bed. Took my time getting ready and packed up. I wanted to get to Sleeping Giant Provincial Park by dinner time. Only 875 km away so no big deal. Since leaving Saskatchewan I have had nothing but sunshine so I hope that continues for my last night of camping. Overall drive was uneventful. But I did make a few stops along the way.
Time travel exists! I went back in time one hour taking one step, then came back to our time by taking a step back. Isn't it amazing. I have pictures to prove it.
I went 1 hour into the future.
Also I had to make a pilgrimage to the Terry Fox lookout along the highway and looking out into the lake at sleeping giant. I then stopped at the mile marker where he ended his run after the cancer had returned. A tough, brave man.
Where it all ended.
The view from the lookout where you can see the sleeping giant.
I finally reached my destination after 9.5 hours of driving. Damn this country is big. Turned out to be an OK park. Not as nice as Blackstone Territorial. The campground is in the middle of bush on a lake.
Buck stopped by as I was preparing dinner. Obviously he is used to being offered a snack or a meal as he just sauntered in....you are not supposed to feed the wildlife because it makes them a nuisance. This one family was throwing loaves of bread at him and then feeding him by hand. They won't be around when he gets to become a nuisance to campers and get turned into venison stew. But they will always have the picture. Sigh. I can be a grumpy old man sometimes.
Heading for North Bay in the morning and then home on Monday.
