It was raining pretty good when we arose this morning, delaying our departure, no big deal as our travel to Lake Superior Provincial Park was only 90 miles. It cleared enough by 10:00 for us to break camp and leave.
Highway 17 is mostly 2 lane with many steep hills, speed limit about 55 mph, but the curves and bumps kept us to about 50 and lower on the really steep ones. We made an intermediate stop at the Agawa Carvings Rest Stop about 45 miles into our journey for a needed potty stop and to browse some interesting hand carved items. Made locally, not in China. Gas is running $1.20/liter, about $3.60 USD/gal, cheaper than we anticipated.
Lake Superior Provincial Park is the largest in Ontario. The campsite was the most challenging to enter and setup of any that we have experienced. The park roads are very narrow with many turns. The site was also narrow with trees to dodge. Slow and careful was key.
The cool part is that we are maybe 50 yards from at least 3 miles of nice Lake Superior beach. So, we took a beach walk, took some pictures and collected stones. As you know from our previous adventures, give us a beach to walk and we are entertained for hours! Some pictures follow.
