Where are my long johns?

The rain is here. The mornings have frost and a freaky mist hovering over the lake. It is spooky yet very romantic. I am enjoying the rain as it is easier to work when it is raining as opposed to a beautiful sunny day.  However the rain will…

Tourism Night Shift

Been working nights for the last few weeks. It is such a creative time for me with very little distractions. An ideal environment to zone in on my current projects. At the cottage Bro and I  have virtually no neighbors. A secluded retreat…

R.I.P Tourism BC

Hail Storm in the Locks City

Nearing the end of  my summer research in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario before hooking up with Bro at our winter accommodations near North Bay. To the locals the community is referred to as The Locks City. A name referring to the many canal locks…

Timmins Camping is where?

1140 kilometres in one big swoop.. wahoo!!  What a rush! That was the distance I drove to get from Sioux Lookout to Shania Twain-land. In case you are not in the loop, Shania Twain (the goddess of country music, so hot) hails from Timmins Ontario.…

EH Camp in Sioux Lookout, Ontario

Took another trip further north to Sioux Lookout, Ontario. Not sure what I was going to find. One thing I did know from my preliminary research was that the community was small with a large selection of fishing resorts.  Some fly-in others…

Wabigoon River in Dryden, Ontario

Trying to get as much research in Ontario done before the winter season hits.   A result of putting in allot of miles, exploring beautiful country with many lakes and - as I found out - very little internet access.  So.. I must play catch…

Red Lake Region.. another surprise.

Exploring Sunset Country, Ontario

On the road again.. exploring and researching Sunset Country in Northwest Ontario.  Some, call this region Lake of the Woods Country.  What ever we decide to call the region... it is definitely "Float Plane and Canoe Country"! Venture a bit…

On the Move to Fort Frances.

It seems Ontario is having a very late summer or a very short one. Through the grape vine we are hearing that they have been seeing allot of rain. Very unusual for the area from what I am told. Luck has been on our side all summer as we have…

High Falls is Where?

High Falls? "You got to check out High Falls".  After a few more recommendations - I had no choice but to set my sights on High Falls.  It had been a few days since I went on a good hike anyway. I was due. So the plan was in motion - I set…

Thunder Bay or Bust

My time in Winnipeg, Manitoba  has come to an end. I researched the city till my eyes went blue and hiked the parks till my feet felt like jello - all the time taking pictures, scribbling  notes and putting hundreds of kilometres behind me.…

Wowed in Winnipeg

After a few days researching downtown - the crowds and civilization in general - I was due for a drastic change.  Do not get me wrong cities are interesting, I love visiting and meeting people, but it is just that me and downtowns get on each…

Bear down in Winnipeg

Woke up this morning with the intention of doing some laundry, but a funny thing happened on the way to the laundromat, the weather got nice and my curiosity got aroused.  One thing led to another and before I knew it I was downtown Winnipeg…
