After looking at the calendar it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out we’ve got a fair amount of miles to cover in a fairly short period of time. Today is one of those driving days. We drove from Kapuskasing until Dryden which means we’ve basically covered all of Ontario in two days, a pretty good pace. We made sure to stop for Eagle Canyon which is the home of Canada’s longest suspension bridge. It’s a scenic 30 minute walk which takes you over a 300 foot suspension bridge and a 600 foot suspension bridge. Just next to Eagle Canyon is Ouimet Canyon Provincial Park where I spotted a big black bear dashing across the road. We went for the nature walk there and checked out that canyon from the view decks, pretty impressive sights. Beyond these two excursions it’s been nothing but driving. Nicola is starting to feel sick so hopefully a bottle of Cold FX and some no-name brand NyQuil will fix her before she gets ‘too sick to drive’….I feel some excuses coming up. However I will give her credit as she has taken the wheel for a couple hours today.
