25,000 mornings, give or take, is all we humans get. We spend them on treadmills. We spend them in traffic. And if we get lucky.. really lucky it dawns on us to go spend them in a world where a simple sunrise can still be magic. I understand this is a commercial promoting a place…… Continue reading Final Reflections

Homeward Bound
A room next to the highway makes for an unpleasant sleeping experience. On the flip side, it does mean we’re up and moving at an early hour. I’m feeling mixed about our final day. On the one hand, I’m anxious to see our pets and dive into my gardening that is getting a late start…… Continue reading Homeward Bound
A Goose, A Moose and Pooh, Oh my!
Today was a mixed bag of touristy gimmicks and authentic beauty. Our morning starts in Wawa, Ontario with a snapshot of the world’s largest fiberglass goose. Steve refuses to act like a goose so I have no choice but to step up to the challenge. Up close, it is obvious Mr. Goose has had better…… Continue reading A Goose, A Moose and Pooh, Oh my!

Our day was spent learning about and experience the Soo Locks. We had the opportunity to watch two boats go through…… Continue reading Working Port
Moose Capital of the World…

Our first stop is the Seney National Wildlife Refuge where we encounter a variety of animals floating about the marsh. Eagle nests, baby geese, swans, and plenty of unidentified birds flutter around us…… Continue reading Moose Capital of the World…
Day Two – Picture Perfect
The weather is not cooperating. We awoke just after 7 am to gray skies and a solid drizzle with no end in site. Such is life. We load up our car and begin the drive out of Copper Harbor. The road hugs the lake and is lined with ancient cedar trees that stand ready to…… Continue reading Day Two – Picture Perfect
Back in Civilization
Day one equaled no internet access so I’m already delayed in my posts but I did manage to write a quick recap last night of our first day adventures which I can post now, along with hopefully some photos from yesterday and today. In about 30-minutes, we’re headed out for a Sunset Cruise on Lake…… Continue reading Back in Civilization
