There is a Black Hole north of Lake Superior

Met a retired military gentleman at our campground in the Sault. He offered us a ride to White Lake (he was heading to Calgary) but we had to decline as we were heading back into town to have breakfast with mom and Jannette.


Got on the road around 10pm and took our time heading to the White Lake Provincial Park. Don't drive this highway too often so we wanted to stop and take some nice photos on the way. Of course that meant stopping in Wawa to get a shot of one of the many Geese populating the town. This is either a snow goose or they ran out of paint when they were painting a Canada goose. Natacha, we're going to need a bigger oven!


Got some nice shots of waterfalls and beaches on the drive and pulled in to the park at about 6:30pm. Actual camping site is over 4km from the highway! Glad we didn't have to portage the canoe in that far (then back out again the next day!). Went for a swim at the northernmost beach - shallow water and warm. Very refreshing after a day on the road. Tossed around a football Jeff bought, we both had some quality spirals there! Caught up on some other stuff at the campsite and we were a little worried that we would get a repeat of the storm we saw the night before in the Soo as there was some thunder booms echoing around for a while. But only some pitter-patter rain fell and we were able to make a delicious supper at the site....some gourmet canned chili! Yum!

Slept until 7:30am. We were on the road by 8.
