The temperature dropped more last night than it has in a long time and as warm as it was yesterday afternoon, the furnace came on through the night. The long-range forecast for the direction we are heading is calling for cooler than normal temperatures while Central Ontario is calling for the opposite. What are we doing? We have been lucky so far with the weather as it sunny and warm again today with the daytime high hovering around 25C, but how long will this last?

We left the KOA just after 10:00 AM heading west on Highway 17 with Kakabeka Falls as our first destination of the day. In all the times we have been to Thunder Bay, it was one place I had yet to see and it was on our way to Kenora, where we are staying tonight. The park is laced with hiking trails and information plaques with lots of historical information and the falls were beautiful. While we were parked, Rick repaired a stone chip we acquired in the windshield on the short drive there and we decided to have lunch before getting back on the road at 12:30.

Kenora, though only 465 kilometres away and also in the Central Time Zone took us the rest of the afternoon to get to and we arrived at the Anicinabe Park on Lake of the Woods shortly after 5:00. The park is very beautiful; some campsites are set among trees, some overlooking the water and all well maintained. Because we didn't want to unhook the trailer for one night, the manager was nice enough to let us occupy several sites at once and we are very comfortable. After a pasta dinner and a walk around the park to the lake we have nicely settled in for the evening. As beautiful as it is here, tomorrow we will head into Manitoba, still undecided as to where we will spend the night but very content with our progress so far.
