This past September marked the 19th anniversary of our decision to retire and move north to Elliot Lake. It's not quite in the centre of Canada, and some folks might regard it as being in the middle of nowhere, but its close proximity to two of the Great Lakes is pretty awesome to our way of thinking.
The final day of our mini road trip featured cool temperatures, but glorious sunshine as we said goodbye to the Wawa Canada Goose and headed south toward Elliot Lake.
On day four of our Lake Superior adventure we left Nipigon and drove eastward to Wawa. Once again, we were in no rush and stopped to admire the amazing views and/or stretch our legs whenever the mood struck.
Day three of our Lake Superior adventure did not include as many kilometres as the previous two days, but it did include five flights of stairs to the top of the Nipigon Bridgeview lookout tower.
Before leaving our gorgeous Airbnb cottage on day two (September 19th) of our mini Lake Superior road trip, we hit the beach for one last selfie.
September has always been my favourite month, but being ill in 2020 and undergoing radiation treatments meant I missed most of its splendour. This year, however, is a totally different story and on September 18 John and I hit the road to not only savour the glory of this incredible month, but also the majesty of the north shore of Lake Superior.
If I didn't know better, I'd swear time is speeding up. How can it possibly be September already?! Still, August refused to go out without a bang. On August 29th a tornado warning was issued for Elliot Lake. Once again our street and property were spared, but it was quite a storm nonetheless.
