Day 8 - Kakabeka Falls (ThunderBay)

Today we took a shorter day of driving from Vermillion Bay to Thunder Bay and camped about 30km west at Kakabeka Falls Provincial Park. It's a really nice park and the falls are the highest in Northern Ontario. We definitely enjoyed the break of a more leisurely day and managed to make it into town to pick up some groceries. It was a lucky birthday for me as the OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) pulled me over and I thought I had a speeding ticket for sure. The officer took my license and went to go write my ticket when he got to the birthdate section on the form. When he realized it was my birthday he just stopped filling it out, wrote Happy Birthday on my ticket and handed it back to me with a smile, what a nice guy!

It's extremely hot and muggy here right now and Nicola and I are sitting in a Best Western Parking Lot, stealing there internet, so we better hit the road, bound for Sault St. Marie.
