Breakfast at Thunder Bay and finally I had a cup of coffee! Yippee! Heather and I are rested (not arrested) and ready for today’s adventure with a drive time of five hours. Our first stop was another Provincial Park Kakabeka Falls, Canada.

The park and Falls were magnificent. Super clean and well maintained. The boardwalks and stairs were easy to navigate or choose to walk the ramps with gradual inclines. The roar of the falls again draws immediate attention on the power of the waters. Canada is known for its hydroelectric power.

A few kilometers down the road we changed time zones again. We are now back on Central Standard Time. We also passed the watershed point where all streams flow North towards the Arctic Ocean.

Next stop was Ignace Canada to see a plane. Wait! It’s a seaplane lol. It’s not really a seaplane it is a Beechcraft Expeditor Plane. A unique vintage 1952 military aircraft displayed on false floats.

Onward drove the Two Texans! Off to find us a picnic table. Whoops there it is. Found us a nice roadside park with restrooms. We had peanut butter sandwiches again with regular Pringles and some Canadian fudge we purchased in Saint John, Canada.

After driving another couple of hours we found one large moose 🫎. Max the Moose is an 18-foot-tall, 2-ton structural monument that has proudly stood representing Dryden since 1962. It is located right next to the local Tourist Information Centre. It’s as old as Umm someone… not saying! lol

A few thousand more kilometers, miles, hours whatever we made it to our hotel. Nice newly renovated hotel. We found us a Walmart and picked up necessities. Bread and peanut butter and 7 up zero.

Dinner was two minutes down the road and we brought it back to our hotel to dine and relax. As we walked outside to our car headed back with food there were two fire engines at the gas pumps. Heather saw smoke coming from down the street but no one seemed concerned. These Canadians are very laid back people.

We have been discussing how slow the speed limits are but all the drivers will blow right past us. We refuse to speed here. The Trans Continental Highway is mainly two lanes with an occasional passing lane. Road construction is just as bad here as in the states except they close one side and you have to wait on the flagmen to signal you to go. While waiting on our food we read a sign inside asking for signatures for a petition to lower the speed limit on the bypass. We were wondering why bother cause it doesn’t matter what is posted. Drive what you want to until a Royal Canadian Mounted Police Officer pulls you over. I guess it’ll matter then as to what’s posted.

An Englishman is on vacation in New York. He goes to a bar and he hears a familiar accent. He walks up to these two women and asks “Are you birds from England?”

“Wales” they said. “Sorry. Are you whales from England?”

Today’s shout out is for Kenneth McColl. With all the water we have seen and shared and the calls of many species of birds though not always posted, (sparse internet service) we hope you are enjoying our Blog! Thanks you for keeping Amarillo water safe just wish we could send some of this water volume home.
