Endikai Lake

On October 6 John suggested we return to Endikai Lake with our motor boat (rather than the kayaks) as he thought the fall colours would be lovely. Talk about an understatement. Not only were the leaves impressive as we headed north of town, but so was everything else. Mother Nature truly outdid herself on this day.

Lake Huron's Northern Shore Boat Cruise

On Tuesday, October 5 the wind was calm enough and the weather picture perfect so we took our 14.5' aluminum boat out on Lake Huron. Although John has kayaked the north shore numerous times, this was a first for the both of us. Ahoy, me hearties!

Elliot Lake: Jewel in the Wilderness

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.

Lake Superior Road Trip: Day 4 - Returning to Wawa

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.

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.
