We passed many small towns each with their own interesting history. The first stop for us was Grenfell which has a collection of miniature replica grain elevators at …

Sibley Peninsula is a 53 km long peninsula just east of the town of Thunder Bay and is home to the Sleeping Giant – a rock formation which looks like a “Sleeping Giant” from Thunder Bay. It is also home to the Sleeping Giant Provincial …

We drove from Chutes Provincial Park to Lake Superior Provincial Park along the Trans Canada Highway. The highway follows the shoreline of Lake Superior but there are very few places where you can actually view Lake Superior from the road. The city of Sault Ste Marie, Ontario sits on the border with Michigan in the US and is known …

We headed north from Killbear Provincial Park in Parry Sound on the Trans Canada Highway to Sudbury, known for it’s giant 1951 replica 30′ nickel, and on west to Chutes Provincial Park. It was a lovely drive and no, we didn’t see the nickel. Apparently, the parking lot there (Dynamic Earth Museum) does not accommodate RV’s with any pull thrus …

Highway 30 goes over Grand Ile where you first cross a 2.5 km bridge over the Beauharnois Canal and then a 1.8 km bridge over the St. Lawrence River (toll) followed by a 100m tunnel under the Soulange Canal. It was a quick, easy journey …

I wasn’t allowed to stop…something about not wanting to hear someone try and learn the accordion all the way across the country. Just nonsense! We headed to the KOA Quebec …

Our plans had us going to the Gaspe Peninsula in Quebec for 5 days and staying at Forillon National Park and driving almost 800 km. But time was getting short and we needed to be in Western Canada in less than a month and we still had lots of sightseeing, visiting, and moochdocking to get done. So, as usual, we …

It was $67 (CAD) for our 4 axles (Motorhome and tow vehicle). We drove on north along the coast of New Brunswick about 90 miles or …

The bridge is about 8 miles long and is often referred to as the “Fixed Link”. It is the longest bridge in the world over ice covered water. The toll is only charged when you …

We arrived into North Sydney, Nova Scotia from the overnight Newfoundland ferry and drove through Cape Breton to Caribou Munroes near Pictou, Nova Scotia. We passed, again, all the great signs that Nova Scotia has which are all different and unique. We drove through Pictou and past the ferry to PEI and on to Caribou Munroes Provincial Park. …
