Our big trip to the east coast …..

This is a little late , but it takes a while to go through all the photos . Unlike the old days when one -very carefully took 24 or 36 - we take thousands . Here are a few , our first night -didn't unhook driving through the prairies …. then Cordingly Lake just north of Nakina Ont. sea plane base , Wolf flew from there for a few years ……the highest gas price in Upsala Ont. …..Niagara Fall

Thanks for sharing! I would love to see eastern Canada but it's a long haul for Egbert with just me behind the wheel. Maybe just a driving trip someday...

Great shots, Gabi. Thanks for sharing. Sure looks a lot more appealing than looking out the window right now.

Great photos. We recognise a few from our trip last summer. In fact, I think we have the very same photo taken at Peggy's Cove . We made it as far as North Sydney, NS. We wanted to go to Newfoundland but found out it would have cost us around $1000 to go over and back with the 19. Saw a lot of neat stuff nonetheless. Very glad we were able to make the trip, the roads in Quebec notwithstanding.

Thanks …. it is a long haul even with two drivers ! Mainly the prairies and northern Ontario seem to go on forever …. Driving south of Lake Superior is not as long , we would do it again ….

Dufferin Islands Natural Area… so pretty ….
View to the American side ….

Being a southerner, I'm having trouble following some of your pictures, Thunder Bay, Kenora, Whiteshell all sound nice, but where are they? What province are you in? Thanks from a Yank...

Times have changed, but, oh man, got to love Niagara Falls. Thanks for those pictures. Last time I was there this was the best shot I could get--- was sent right back into the US after an hour in custody for crossing without a passport.

Hi....we are actually home now in Calgary , but drove to the East coast of Canada starting Sept. 1 and returned home in time for Canadian Thanksgiving dinner . the Whiteshell is a Manitoba Provncial Park one passes through enroute to Ontario . Kenora is just into Ontario from the west situated on Lake of the Woods . Manitoba is sometimes referred to as "land of a thousand lakes " - but northern Ontario could compete . Kenora and The Whiteshell are cottage country , as well as hunting / fishing mecca for many . Thunder Bay is the Canadian Lake head city of Lake Superior ( once two towns called Fort Williamand /Port Arthur ) .
Didn't post anything of the prairie .... too big - pics don't do it justice !

Cordingly Lake, Geraldton and Nakina are located north east of Thunder Bay , places we lived in the early 1970's. Wolf was a bush pilot back then .
