I didn't expect to be able to post so soon, but we stopped at a campground with Wi-Fi last night, so I was able to get some pictures together from our first day of travels!
We left Thursday night and stayed in a Walmart parking lot. Friday morning we got to Mackinaw bridge, which was really neat for me since I had never seen it in person.
Then we saw the Soo Locks and crossed the bridge into Canada. (Lydia was terrified of the crossing guards and she insisted we were going to get arrested...thankfully that was not the case!)
Friday afternoon found us passing some amazing scenery...just a taste of what is to come! The rocks and trees were beautiful! Dad keeps saying I'm not going to come back with them and I have to say, even with the little we've seen, it's a very tempting idea :)
The campground we stayed at last night was very nice. The boys slept out in tents...brrr! I was chilly in the camper, but they insisted they were warm. Tomorrow we will just park in a parking lot somewhere (if we can find one...there are pretty long stretches of wilderness even this far into the trip...its been nice to see trees and rocks and no people or buildings!)
We plan to make it past Thunder Bay today, then on to Edmonton. I'm looking forward to seeing some real wilderness!
Well, we need to get on the road. I will try to post again soon. I will not have internet to respond to comments, but I will love reading them when I do get a connection! Adios!
