For the long weekend we are sitting in the furthest reaches of Northern Ontario, about 500 miles north of Toronto. Although considered Northern Ontario, we are basically at the same latitude as Vancouver.

Today we are visiting the polar bear conservation in Cochrane and then driving down to Shania Twain country in Timmins. Tomorrow will be a quiet day sitting around the lake and then on Monday we alter course and start heading West and back to the coast.

Currently at a great campground, lots of seasonals, but they are well maintained and everyone is very welcoming. Sat around the campfire last night with our neighbours enjoying a few Guinness.

I'm slowly working on the RW, "whipping it back into shape" after our month in northern Ontario, preparing it for the winter in California.

I completed the insulating/air leakage fix in the front closet area and the rear view camera installation is near completion. Drawer catches, a new window latch and a good exterior wash should complete the work. My self imposed "union rules" (work for a half hour and take an hour or more off) means it might take some time though!

Monday was the F350, wax front cap, make sure extra bounce dryer sheets are stocked.

Tuesday AM pull out for Camp Gulf, Destin Fl. for a 31 day vacation.

Should I need to rate Camp Gulf clean 9.5 access in and out 9.5, bath house 9.5, location to beach ??? We are on the Beach how is that rated? no 6 lane road to cross, no overhead pedestrian walk, no private property to sneak thru. wow nice.

Today a driver pulled out of hamburger joint and I guess driver lost control the car ended up on it's top in a deep ditch, easy to inspect tires and condition of underside. (do not know if any injuries)

Please watch out as you drive get there and back safe with most of what you left with.

Blessings to all
Victoria and Bob

We are hooking up to head to Glacier National Park, KOA at St. Mary, for 3 days AFTER Labor day. Tourists are starting to thin out and the temps are dropping. Hope to do some hiking and kayaking in the National park in our backyard!
