Across the middle to Thunder Bay!

We spent the last few days crossing the great plains of Canada from Alberta through Saskatchewan, Manitoba to Ontario. We cut south at Kenora to visit Fort Francis and see the falls at the US border at International Falls, but were thwarted on that effort due to the layout of the border crossing preventing us from actually seeing the bridge and falls. 

Regardless, we had a great drive through the region and enjoyed the fall colors that reminded us of home. We had our first boondock camp outside of Fort Francis after having no luck finding an open campground this time of year. Alas, it was great to be secluded and get to see the Milky Way from even such a.liw altitude due to the dark sky. We continued on toward Thunder Bay and visited "Niagra of the north" on the way. Thunder Bay was a bit of a bust with no nice downtown that we could find, so we headed straight to our camp for the day at Sleeping Giant provincial park on Lake Superior.
