It was 38 degrees as I left The Park this morning:
I usually see statues of Tyrannosaurus Rex on my Thursday drives into Boston, on Route 1 (orange, overlooking his domain; and at The Museum of Science), so it IS GREAT this Thursday Morning to see another one! Note my car in the corner, for scale:
There are lakes everywhere up here:
I visited Fushimi Lake Provincial Park:
A little after noon I reached MacLeod Provincial Park. Because I had stayed overnight up in René Brunelle Provincial Park, I can visit any other Provincial Park today for free:
There are some wonderful cliffs going down alongside Lake Nipigon:
Down in Nipigon there is a Viewing Tower, with 65 steps to the top:
At 4 PM I visited Ouimet Canyon Provincial Park. I was the only one there:
After 480 miles, at 5:45 PM I checked in to the Super 8, Thunder Bay, Ontario:
Pizza for dinner, computer work, and BED. WOW - Thank you God for this wonderful Driving/Provincial Parks/Adventure Day!
Driving Music for today:
because he sounded so good yesterday - Jamie Cullum - Twentysomething, 2003 album:
Jackson Browne - The Pretender, 1976 4th album - lyrics "Your Bright Baby Blues":
'Cause I've been up and down this highway
Far as my eyes can see
No matter how fast I run
I can never seem to get away from me
No matter where I am
I can't help thinking I'm just a day away
From where I want to be
Now I'm running home, baby
Like a river to the sea
