Crossing into Canada 🍁

 We’ve made it to Ottawa with cold weather, occasional snow flakes but largely dry roads.  



We paid a toll to cross the bridge at Saule St Marie, and voila!  After a glance at our passports we drove to the information center to load up on maps, etc we learned that 99% of campgrounds (including provincial parks) are closed until May 15.  Which explains why we parked overnight at a roadside truck stop on our first night in CAN



But I’ve jumped ahead! Before we entered Canada, we made our way through N Dakota, enjoying a famous attraction:


Found an open campground in northern Minnesota at Cass Lake.  The next night we stayed in the parking lot at a small bar & grill on the banks of Lake Superior in Wisconsin.  A smallish snow storm tried to stop us from further exploration of the south shore of that giant lake, but we drove on to stay near the Pictured Rocks national lakeshore.  In Michigan‘s upper peninsula.  Needless to say, I have to pause to remember where we are!







We look forward to a couple nights near Quebec before we head for the Maritime provinces next week.  Au revoir!
