We drove 900 miles today! Twice we went for stretches that were 180 miles with no gas station. One of those stretches only had two structures the whole way! It was beautiful and Amazing.
Amy and I are both struck by the beauty of the north shore of Lake Superior. The terrain here is so rugged and remote. Cliffs dropping down into the water a shoreline that goes for miles and miles with no houses or boats in sight. It looks like the Maine coast or the San Juan Islands of Puget Sound. Who knew? :)
As we drove along one remote section of the highway a black bear came out into the road right in front of us. It was so cool and cute. It turns out that it is the first black bear that Amy has ever seen. She was exited and worried for it at the same time. A cool experience and sure not to be our last.
We are now camped at a site in Terrace Bay, ON. I am sitting by the tent and typing this up on my phone in the dark. There is a large trailer with "Live Bear Trap" printed in big letters on the side with the door propped open. Is this a sign??? :) We have a big drive ahead of us tomorrow and I will type more when I get to a spot where I can. Now to sleep under the stars...
WOW! Where in Terrace bay did you camp? We just camped out that way at a nice little campground call the Aguasabon Falls Camp. It was very clean, and it too had a trap sitting by the rivers edge. We stayed there for a few nights, every morning I would awake and run to see if the bear was caught. I just wanted to see a bear up close! Better luck for you!
