I've been looking for tent camping sites along Lake Superior in Ontario, Canada. There are provincial parks, but their rates seem high. I guess I'm used to paying the senior rate at US National Park and Forest Service campgrounds, which usually run between $5 and 9 (that is the senior rate which is 50% of regular). It looks like the private campgrounds as well as provincial parks run from about $20 to 25 for a tent site, and that is in Canadian so it would be a bit more in American dollars. It won't break me to spend approx. 3 nights in Canada, and I'll just drive until I find a good place to stop.
Are any readers familiar with Thunder Bay? I'm not usually interested in cities or tours, and wonder if it is worth an overnight stay in that vicinity. I might add that my entire itinerary is written in jello at this point, and for all the planning I've done I'll be winging it as I go along. That's exactly how I love to do it!
Jeannie will come by on Saturday to pack my car for me. She did an excellent job getting everything in the van. My ex husband was probably the best in the world for packing a car, a fridge/freezer, or just about anything, and all the kids have his skills. I'm not bad at it but not the best either, so I'll let a pro do it for me.
I have a lot of items on my to-do list for tomorrow, including an oil change, and I'm hoping the tires are ok for the trip. At this point I wonder if I will get everything done.

I think I mentioned on several blogs past that I'm re-thinking where and how I should live. With all its problems and much needed repairs, and with the Park management providing constant irritation, I love this place. It is large enough...

I didn't feel like eating breakfast this morning (my favorite meal of the day), so I drove my car over to the garage where I take it for service and got an oil change, plus check of fluid levels and tires. I was able to eat when I got home,...

Yesterday Jeannie brought the girls over to my house in the morning since Donald was working on a cake. We went to the Farmers' Mkt. and then to Costco. I can't believe how much two little girls can eat from all the samples available. ...
