Well, we've made it through the first leg of our journey. It's going to take us 3 days/1800 kilometres just to get out of Ontario. It's astounding how immense Canada is.

Today was a rainy day, but that was fine, as we were just covering distance, with no scheduled plans or stops. Our drive time wasn't long either, ''just'' six hours today.

We're in our cabin at the MountainView Lodge. It's rustic and spare, but clean and roomy, and the dogs are already snoring away on one of the beds. I think we're the only guests at the place tonight.

Tomorrow, we head for Thunder Bay, a seven and a half hour drive.
