Finally got out of Ontario late Monday night (day 2). After leaving the north shore of Superior went through Thunder Bay and then up to Dryden and Kenora. The ride was OK except for about 3 hours of rain. The roads in norther Ontario are in great shape.
You know you are heading north when you see a sign that says “you are entering the Arctic Watershed, from this point all streams and rivers drain into the Arctic Ocean. This was in the Dryden area.
You also know you are heading west when the next sign you see is “you are entering the Central Time Zone”.
Leaving Ontario I was getting some great views of Lake of the Woods. The Ontario/Manitoba border area is very nice. I was checking my GPS and noticed that sundown was not until 10:30pm so I kept going until I got well within the Manitoba border and then began looking for a campsite.
I was lucky to find a nice spot at West Hawk Lake in Whiteshell Provincial Park. I set up camp quickly and went to bed. Another long day.
