Leaving Oakville and arriving in Cornwall, ON. 287 miles and 4 hrs 17 min drive. We are staying at Best Western Parkway Inn & Conference Centre. Montreal is 1 hr and 20 minutes away from Cornwall.

Jun 27, 2017 - Teslin - Lakeshore RV Park

Bill and Harry were itching to do some fishing since to date there have been NO fish! SO, they found a little over halfway to Whitehorse a place called Teslin. We had only booked one night, but after having lunch and seeing how beautiful it was we booked another night lol. Harry did see a bull Moose crossing a lake on our way to the campground and it was an LL Bean picture post card...unfortunately Jackie was on the wrong side of the car :( After a great lunch at the local restaurant/saloon the boys took the canoe out into the lake and went...

Jun 27, 2017 - Sault Ste Marie to St Joseph Island

The sun was shining this morning so I definitely picked the right day to take the day off. I’ve left Lake Superior now & will be following Lake Huron this week. It was only about 55 km to St Joseph Island, an island in Lake Huron which is linked to the mainland by a bridge & claims to be the 2nd largest freshwater island in the world. I wanted to go to Fort St Joseph which is at the southern tip of the island but when I got there after 20 km of rough roads, I wasn’t very happy to find out it’s closed on Mondays & Tuesdays until next week....

Jun 27, 2017 - Waterton Park - last Day in Glacier

Tues., June 27th – Last night was a rough one. First, the sounds of fireworks (a little early I’d say) kept us awake. Then the thunder and rains started at about 1am. Steve had to go outside in the rain and take in the awning. Just as we were dozing off, we both heard another round of pitter-patter. Rain again? No, this time a critter in the kitchen nibbling on the pears I left to ripen on the counter. So at about 2am we started a mouse hunt. No luck. Try sleeping in a 30’ trailer knowing there is a rodent of some sort lurching around! Oh...

Jun 27, 2017 - Prince George to Jasper Skytram

The drive from Prince George to Jasper was a nice drive - travelling through mountain ranges, forests, farming praires on wonderful roads. Considering they have very hot summers (highest of about 32) and freezing winters (lowest of about -35) the roads here are great, much better than ours. Lui reckons the Aussies need to come over a do a course in road building. We were told to visit Mt Robson and pleased we did - what a hill it is! It has the highest summit of the Rocky Mountains and is still cover in snow. Upon reaching Jasper, with it...

Jun 26, 2017 - A Rainy Day in Sault St. Marie

Woke up this morning to a ship passing near our campsite. Soon the rain began and we stayed inside watching ships go by for the rest of the day. The most exciting thing that happened (besides it being Parker's birthday) was that Mary Ellen's Volleyball team, who were playing in the AAU Junior Girl's National Championship in Florida, won first place and even better Mary Ellen was named MVP of the tournament. It was nice to have a restful day. Tomorrow we will take a boat tour through the locks.

Jun 26, 2017 - On our way to Whistler

Today we collected our hire cars to make our way to our next destination Whistler. What a beautiful place Whistler is the drive was gorgeous We went and found out about the mountain bike riding for Zac, once the snow dries up here they turn the mountains into downhill mountain bike tracks and Zac has decided he would like to do this instead of going on the peak to peak gondola ride tomorrow so he is all booked in for a full day lesson (mum is a little worried about this ) and the rest of us will go onto the gondola and check out the...

Jun 26, 2017 - Watson Lake - Downtown RV Park

After getting an early start from Ft Nelson we arrived in Watson Lake...home of the world famous sign forest...early with plenty of time to get everything done and only stay one night before continuing on...I know its breaking an RV rule of staying 2 nights everywhere, but at least we acknowledged our error. Harry and Bill both got haircuts and they are looking GOOD.....the laundry was done.....fishing licenses for the Yukon territory were purchased and Harry and Jackie were able to find the signs that they had posted with Jackie's parents...

We we on...

Jun 25, 2017 - Sault Ste Marie

It was a long tiring day & by the time I got home I was too tired to write up my diary. I took an all-day excursion train ride north 180 km (114 miles) into the Ontario wilderness to Agawa Canyon Park which is so remote that there are no roads & the only way you can get to it is by train. I had to be at the Sault Ste Marie station at 7:30am which meant I set the alarm for 6:15am. Stupidly, I woke up at 4:15 & couldn’t get back to sleep so I was tired before I started. The 4 hour train ride was fantastic, through forests, around lakes &...

Jun 25, 2017 - Prince George

A quiet day today which has been lovely. Weather is about 29 but not too hot. This morning we visited the Train Museum, which was actually interesting for about the first hours or so - I then sat the in gallery and enjoyed the art. We then drove around town visiting the uni, connaught park, the brewery, the airport and just looking at the city itself which is slightly bigger than Wagga, but boy is Wagga more cosmopolitian and just better looking! Off to Jasper tomorrow - we can't wait for that one!

Jun 25, 2017 - Allen's Lookout Pullout

Departed Ft Nelson with the plan to have breakfast at Tetsa River where they proclaimed to have the greatest cinnamon buns in the Galaxy! They DO!!! Further up the road we came to Muncho Lake which is a spectacular region and we had lunch at the Muncho Lake Lodge (Harrison actually stopped there too a few weeks earlier, but he got to stay over night...we came CLOSE to following his lead...). From there we continued up to Laird Hot Springs to soak our road weary bodies from some arduous driving days...some days we went over 200 miles!! The...
