We left last Friday August 31 to drive our daughter to Lakehead University in Thunder Bay and tomorrow we will head back to TO.  It’s been a great trip!!! The drive for the most part is spectacular with gorgeous views of Lake Superior and the highlands.<\/p>\n

Thunder Bay has a lovely waterfront park and the weather has been phenomenal. Today we went to a fabulous waterfall that is on a portage route used by the fur traders long ago.  It helps to put things in perspective when you realize that the rocks here are over 3 billion years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

These Falls are almost as high as Niagara. I’m so glad that they are in a provincial park so they can be protected. <\/p>\n

\nWe also went to the Terry Fox memorial – it is awesome!<\/p>\n
