Drive to Tettegouche State Park, MN
Wednesday, September 10, 2025 42 degrees at 5:00 am We straightened up, hooked up, dumped, filled the fresh water tank and were on the road by 8:30. TCan 11 wasn’t so daunting heading back east. The road reconnected with TCan 17 west of Thunder Bay. Before the city, we turned south on 61. It was…

Fishing French Lake
Wanting to catch a couple of fish for dinner, we went to a rock behind the Teaching Center, that a ranger had recommended. Martha patiently watched and played games on her phone while I fished a variety of lures with the regular spinning rod and the ultralight rod. Nothing. No hits, no runs, no errors.…

Paul Kane Trail
Monday, September 8, 2025 39 deg at 4 am I laid in bed readdressing my furnace problem. Sail switch, I decided. Was I blocking air flow with my tape? I could hear the technician I might hire, laughing at my Velcro tape job. On our way to hike, we stopped at the canoe launch parking…

Hike French Portage and Falls
Sunday, September 7, 2025 39 deg at 6 am Still having trouble with the furnace, I went out and surveyed the problem again. Of course there could be one or several problems, so I have watched some videos, which were helpful. All the wires were connected, but the cover for the flywheel was loose and…

The Whiskey Jack Trail
September 6, 2025 36 degrees at 6:00 We are on Central Time now. All the stars were out this morning! I should have gotten a picture, but it was too chilly to lay on the picnic table. We waited until 10:00 to go exploring the park, hoping for a little warmer temperatures. There were lots…

Drive to Quetico Provincial Park
September 5, 2025 at 5:46 AM 41 deg at 6:00 Martha had learned about a special sweet roll while she was waiting on a bench at the shower house back in Rabbit Blanket campground, Lake Superior Provincial Park. “If you go to Thunder Bay you must try a Persian!” said the young lady who was also…

Moving to Thunder Bay
September 4, 2025 41 degrees at 6:00, high of 54. We booked a campsite at Fort William in Thunder Bay on advice from Airstreamers at Terrace Bay and from Sandy at the Silver Islet store. There was no need to hurry, so I went down to the South Kaybeyun parking lot to see if I…

The Sleeping Giant
September 3, 2025 45 degrees at 6:00, high of 48. Legend has it that the Indians were sworn to secrecy about the location of silver, but one told a white man where it was. As punishment, the Gods turned him into a mountain, forever sleeping beside the Silver Islet. It rained all night. In the…

Hike South Kabeyun Trail
September 2, 2025 We went down to the beach about 7:30 for the views, sounds and 1-2 bars. I wanted to see if I could get in one or two blogs posted, but one bar isn’t enough. It’s enough to get messages and emails, but not to upload pictures. I got one posted and then…

The Sea Lion Trail
August 31, 2025 60 deg. @ 6:30; 80 deg high, sunny I went down to the beach at sunrise to see if I could post. I think I got in one before the phone went from two bars to one. Frustrating, but what a gorgeous spot in the early morning with loons calling, sea gulls…
