Lake of the Woods

Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - 14C with sunny spots.

We left Winnipeg, MB at 9:30 am with a destination of Kenora, ON in mind. We didn't have the nights campground booked but we told the Anicinabe RV Park was a good place to stay. I had it already programmed into the GPS. So off we went.


The highway east had a variety of surfaces to contend with, rail crossing bumps, construction, gravel shoulders, and no shoulders.


Entering Ontario the speed limit was reduced to 90 km/hr. Not a big problem but there were a lot more turns and hills that slowed us down and speed up on the flip side. It reminded me of a "Rolls-Kin-Ardly", rolls down one side of the hill and can hardly get up the other.


Highway runs right through the middle of town. So all big trucks and campers are maneuvered around the locals and tourists. There is no shortage of hills in town either.


We found the campground and were set up in no time. The shortage of level usable land is apparent when looking for a service station big enough to handle our truck and trailer. We decided to fill up after unhooking.


Some of the downtown is along the water. Many buildings are being renovated. We parked and walked to get a close up look at the water docks. The "Kenora" was tied up and cleaned for winter storage.  


Further down the Kenora Air Service had many small plains docked as well as a large "Beaver".


Back at our new home for two days, we relax on the well grassed site. Behind is the Lake of the Woods adjacent to the campground.



The view from the trailer showed a trail closer to the water. There are many private homes across the bay, one with a yappy dog.




Here is a little trivia you can use at your next NHL party. Who won the 1907 Stanley Cup.


We found out, now you know.

So until next time remember "Discover It and Live It"
