Day 8: Swift Current, SK Sunny and warm, with mosquitoes. Going across the Canadian prairie into Alberta. Saw several prairie dogs, mostly tiny furry dead splotches on the road, but a couple were sitting along the road, straight and tall as their tiny bodies could be. They are smaller than squirrels. I remembered them being... Continue Reading →

Day 7: Rugby, ND Sunny and warm. Passed a section of plains in western North Dakota where hills are in the near distance. The grassy hills have numbers made of small rocks in them so that they are visible from Highway 52. It appears to be a high school class project, as one from each... Continue Reading →

Road to Neys Provincial Park
275 miles, and 7 hrs with stops in Wawa for fuel and along the way to take photos at the many roadside lookouts. The drive around the north shore of Lake Superior from Sault Ste Marie to Neys Provincial Park reminded me of Finland. There are so many along the route like we saw in... Continue Reading →

Day 4: Grand Marais, MNSunny and hot. On our way to Duluth. We still need to decide what route to Alaska from here. Stopped at Gooseberry Falls, a beautiful spot where people were climbing all over and wading. The weather is perfect for this activity. Had lunch at Betty’s Pies, which appears to be THE...
