Day 22: Rain… Upsula to Thunder Bay 155 km

Day 22: Rain… Upsula to Thunder Bay 155 km

I mentioned we did not have a host last night. The camp ground became our host. They did not charge us for the night because they like what we are attempting to accomplish!!

Over night there was a thunder and lighting storm. We started our day in heavy rain. The first of the trip. Shortly after we left Upsula we saw a wolf along the road! It did not wait around for a photo opportunity.

I have fairly good rain gear but after an hour or so I was totally soaked! We crossed into a new time zone…

photo(37)When we got to Thunder Bay Rob and Jacquie needed a couple things for the RV so they stopped at the local Home Hardware. Robyn was so kind to give them to us for free!! Got to love our wonderful sponsors!

DSC_5093Because it was a short day, we got to our host’s home at about 4 pm. Jim and Lynda make us a nice dinner.  Then we were off to a presentation at the Hilldale Lutheran Church. Really enjoyed the time with the folks there. Timo has some Finnish friends who attend this church.

DSC_5107To rap up the evening we stopped to see the Thunder Bay harbor at sunset. With a good view of the “Sleeping Giant” on the far side of the harbor.
