Today we traveled from Ignace, ON to Thunder Bay, ON. It was beautiful day, mostly bright sunshine with a few scattered clouds and the temperature was good enough for shorts & t-shirts. We again passed multitudes of lakes. Many were as small as 1 acre or less, mbut there were several very large lakes also. As we approached Thunder Bay we got a great view of Lake Superior. Originaqlly, this was to be a one night stop, but we decided that we needed to do laundry, and just take a break. Fortunately with the washer & dryer in the rig, we were able to rest and do laundry at the same time.

We awoke this morning to gray & cloudy skies. By the time we were ready to set out on today's venture it was raining, and rained pretty much all day, sometimes heavy. Our first stop was at the Terry Fox Memorial. This is a tribute to a young Canadian Cancer patient. His cancer was in remission, and he had lost one leg, but decided to run across Canada from East to West. He made it as Far as Thunder Bay when it was discovered that his cancer had flared up again and he could not continue. He died shortly after that event. We then went to Kakabaca Falls. These falls are known as the Niagara Falls of the North. Very pretty. Fortunately, we only had a few sprinkles while at the falls. We then took an drive through Thunder Bay.
