Marathon to Thunder Bay (Travis's mom and dads)

Well that drive might have been one of the most beautiful drives I have ever done. The brisk morning air warmed with the spring sun as I drove from my little camping spot just out side of Marathon. The sun made for some of the nicest land scapes I have ever seen. Lake Superior in the back ground and large pines clung to the sides of steep cliffs in the foreground. I have seen alot of wild life so far. 3 moose, 4 deer and Winnie the Pooh in Marathon. I stopped at Aguasabon Falls on the way. A beautiful 50 ft drop. Runnable if the pool at the bottom is deep enough. I didn't try it though. I really need to teach Rain how to set up safety. I contuned into Sleeping Giant Provincail Park where I met Al (Travis's dad). He sent me out on a hike to see the Sea Lion. It is a rock birdge in Lake Superior. After I made a 10km drive on a dusty red clay road into Thunder Look out. It offers a stundding view over Superior towards Thunder Bay. Everything is so big it makes you feel really small. After I drove into Murrillo to his parents house. We made pizza for supper and had beers. It was good. Then Al and I took another hike (Rains 3rd of the day...shes sleeping beside me right now) and saw Kakabeka Falls. The locals call it Niagra of the North. It was beautiful. It really through me off driving home. I was thinking it was 8:30 or so according to the how bright it was. But it was 10:15 and still bright and sunny! I couldn't believe it.

I have also just had my first misadventure. I lost all my photos due to formatting errors. So I have no photos of this part of the trip which is too bad because it was so beautiful. But I have it figured out now. So it wont happen again!

Sudbury to Marathon

Well I am currently in Marathon at a hotel steeling some internet to post this. The drive was so nice along Lake Superior. Julie has given me directions twice. How to get to Sudbury and how to get to the highway from Sudbury. My GPS gave me totally different directions both times. I am starting to wonder how she make it home every day after work. But I picked up acouple hich hikers in Sault Ste Maire. One from Missouri and one from New Zealand. Took them to about 150km south east of Marathon where I found a little public boat lunch to sleep at. Rain found a beaver lodge there. She wouldn't leave the thing. She got all wet then desided to roll all over my sleeping bag. Shes special. But anyways I best be continueing on my way. And oh mom, I am still alive and havent gone over the speed limit once!

Sudbury Tourist

So today Julie, Shay and I went to Dynamic Earth and Science North. Good times. The butterfly room was sweet. Check out the pictures below. We are off to eat Sushi now! Johnny

Bar Night in Sudbury

So Julie and I just got home from the bar. We went to Peddlers for a few pints of Smithwicks before they turned the game off on us. I think it's because Julie was too rowdy. So we went The Sportsbury (we think thats what it was called) to finish watching Pittsburgh win the conference finals. Just after the game we had to run out because Julie spilt her ale all over the table and floor. It was a great night in Sudbury. They have a real happening Tuesday night bar sceene. Good Times...
