June 16, 2013 (Lake-of-the-Woods = BUGS! – from Sean & Carla)

Well, we left our RV park just east of Regina and headed further east in lousy weather. The drive is mostly uninteresting (actually quite boring) but it is getting us closer to home with each kilometer. The highways are twinned and run through a myriad of villages along the way. Each village has a grain elevator. Nuff said! The entrances and exits to these villages are uncontrolled and run across up to 4 lanes of high speed traffic. It is not unusual to come flying along at 120kmph and see various gigantic farm machinery pieces trying to cross the road. A little unnerving… But being able to see some 100 miles down the road helps 🙂

So far we have made good headway from Banff yesterday morning and we are now in Ontario, albeit just Kenora. The area is very nice and a haven for campers & boaters as this is Lake of the Woods region. The accommodations range from tenting to massive house boats and float planes and of course hotels and inns. The Best Western is right on the edge of the lake and perfectly round and about 10 storeys high, it must offer beautiful views but does look weird…
Further eastward bound again tomorrow…

Yup, Ontariario

Only other pic is of this motor home, while not as cool as the one towing the helicopter this one has pop-outs on pop-outs, a first for us. But given the bug count, he might have the right idea versus venturing outside.

Big, big rig, may be over compensating perhaps. The owner looked the martian off of bugs bunny.

    You two are really making time!

    A rig towing a helicopter? Bonus unanticipated sightings!
    I guess you’ll shortly be back into “civilization” so be careful of those metallic animals on the 401,
    and I hope there’s no more snow! (what with Mother’s day being a bit white and all)
