It was a blast...

I'm home!  Decided enroute after leaving Winnipeg that a drive through Ontario's south on a long weekend would not leave a pleasant memory for this trip so did the 'short' trip, going along 17 through Dryden this time and keeping on 17 after Thunder Bay to through the Sault and turning South once reaching Sudbury.  A few detours going West once I got around Georgian Bay and I arrive here late Thursday afternoon.  Three camp nights and I was home.

Another reason for coming home sooner - I had developed a rash after another tick bite near the top of my breast bone and couldn't see it without a mirror (trying looking for your breast bone). I suspect it was there for a few days.  Helped by my friends in Lomond we got it off, but the redness didn't fade, and so go some antibiotics (again) then eventually set up an appointment with my GP in Guelph... short story - not a Lyme Vector tick (thanks to other friends who know all things 'ticking'), and the rash so qualifies as an allergic reaction to Rockie Mountain tick saliva (yuck!). Treated and on the mend.

Well, only a few pictures to share, but then Ontario's North will be familiar to most of you.  Again, the magnificence of Superior North needs to be experienced if you haven't already.  'True' hunter green forests, cascading lakes marking deep hollows in the Canadian Shield, and of course the never ending expanse of Lake Superior. Go there!

One stop over just past Thunder Bay, following the advice of my friend, Gail:

More time in the North for me next trip :)
