It was pretty empty, the way we like it! We
had a campsite right on the south shore of Lake Ontario, amazing sunsets. </div>

My way included a LONG empty beach. Just take the service road which heads out east of the campsites.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIAmselemnnVN4w1lVjHx39sz-JJZa9QVIaeN9xBCi786lx0QFyQBsZhJC7d0kQGF3ttBRQccwPcruj02W95agpsG66nDOxz4YR5ch3AzOx7D23s1THBJD_PQ5dEWAjHNIMEhGXgt3kOA/s1600/IMG_20150610_080939_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIAmselemnnVN4w1lVjHx39sz-JJZa9QVIaeN9xBCi786lx0QFyQBsZhJC7d0kQGF3ttBRQccwPcruj02W95agpsG66nDOxz4YR5ch3AzOx7D23s1THBJD_PQ5dEWAjHNIMEhGXgt3kOA/s320/IMG_20150610_080939_1.jpg" width="320" /></a>Basically, I just kept the water to the left of me on the way out. Much to my surprise, I found a pretty long empty beach. The boys were very happy. This beach is excellent for dogs, as it’s all rocks, no sand, no one wants two sandy wet dogs, wet’s ok, but, add sand, that’s a pain. So, we just walked on the beach, I saw a romantic fog coming in, but I didn’t realize that was a storm front, we were just about 2km out when it started Thunder storming. Duke’s usually a mess during thunderstorms, he actually wasn’t too bad! Buddy was fine. I couldn’t remember if I was supposed to stay on the beach or head toward the forest during a thunderstorm. Buddy kept walking into the woods, and peeking out at us. Duke was just basically stuck to my side. We went into the woods for a while, the thunderstorm was beautiful, it got pretty crazy. So, it lightened up a little, so we continued in the rain back.<br />
<br />
Jerry was amused at how wet we all where. Anyway, he made me the best meal every, again, and then make it perfect, it cleared up enough for a beautiful sunset. <br />

It's in <o:p></o:p>Letchworh State Park.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Didn’t know it was even here! BEAUTIFUL! Well worth the
visit. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The camping was excellent too. I
loved the shower pressure! I’d go back just for the shower pressure. Not the
elegance of the showers, that’s for sure, but, when you’re camping, a good
shower feels like heaven!<o:p></o:p></div>

camp and not move your vehicle again till you leave, then plan to see the BIG
waterfalls as you come in or leave. The
BIG falls and attraction is way too far from the campgrounds for most people.
It was 10miles each way. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We secured our campsite, which was awesome by the way, then
headed over to the touristy part, but, it was beautiful and well worth seeing.
The view from the middle falls was my favourite.</div>
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I suggest you park in the middle and go up and down the
ridge to all the three waterfalls. <o:p></o:p></div>

any hiking, so, I had low expectations. <br />
I was delighted to find he was wrong! On our hike, we kept on running into
amazing waterfalls! FUN! I don’t know about you, but, I love finding non
touristy waterfalls in the woods. Makes you feel very special. First hike we
took was Trail Route 18, it was along the ridge overlooking the river.
The trail is far enough away that you have no fear of slipping over
unless you’re a curious dog! Glad Duke made it back, he’s an amazing dog! Don’t
think he realized how steep I was. I
knew he’d be fine, he’s always been an amazing climber, but, it did look odd
when he disappeared then a moment later all you could see was his head and two
front legs on the ground.<o:p></o:p></div>

The next day we took Trail Route 18 toward the road, took
the road north till Trail Route 19. This
combination was awesome as far as finding Waterfalls. If you’re going to take that route, just keep
listening for the rush of waterfalls, then look for where there are less formal
trails, follow the sound, and voila, waterfalls. LOVE IT! <o:p></o:p></div>

enjoyable days in Chapman State Park Pennsylvania. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Chapman State Park is surrounded by over
500,000 acres in the Allegheny National Forest. Someone say hiking! I live for trails! Our 10 year old Duke becomes alive in the trails. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On our first hike, which was cut short due to the thunderstorm, we found the swing bridge on the Lowlands Trail. We had hiked just a couple of km pasts the swing bridge and the skies opened up - we were caught in a tremendous thunderstorm, Duke was glued to my side on this short hike, Buddy didn’t seem to mind. We hiked back in the storm. When we got back, everything was so wet I had to ring out all my stuff. I can tell you the pack I had was not water proof at all, my paper maps were all melted due to being so wet.</div>

When the thunderstorm past, we went for a second hike through unpassable puddles, we heard a road was washed out, but, it was not a main road. So we walked through the puddles with my last pair of dry running shoes, water was past my ankles. Forest was dripping too, so, again we were drenched, but, funny enough we didn’t mind at all. I felt like a kid jumping in puddles, nice! We took the Lowlands trail again from our camp ground, this time we were going to take it out straight out to the Forest Game Land, but, the signs reading “Hunt Carefully”, it put me off, so we turned back and crossed at the swing bridge again, took that trail till Game Lands Road, went right and caught Adams Run Trail which was rugged, hilly and very wet. As it was late, and I didn’t have a dry map I could read any longer, I thought I’d play it safe and turn back, retrace our step to the Game Land road then make our way to the 68 acre lake and then attempt to go around the lake. That worked, it was perfect. We made it back, soaked again, but, very pleased at our adventure.<br />

start as they were predicting afternoon thunderstorms again. So, I had to wear
very, very, very, very, wet running shoes, and socks that were dry, well, dry until
I stepped onto our first trail. Couldn’t
tell a creek from a trail sometimes, but, again, it was enjoyable. We managed
15 km, first couple of kms were through puddles and hills. The boys certainly had enough running water
to drink from. We headed through the Lumber Trail aiming toward the 300 miles
of snowmobile trails, those trails where on higher ground and dryer. We circled back and walked around the 68 acre
lake again and headed back to the camp.
We were wet again as it rained on and off, but, the raid doesn’t seem to
bother us anymore. <o:p></o:p></div>

Well, as I write, this, we have only wet towels left,
nothing dry, only wet socks and hiking shoes, but, it’s our last night camping,
before we go visit friends in civilization, so, we’ll be just fine. I also
realized that dry shoes and socks are over rated when it comes to hiking, WHO
KNEW!?</div>

We stopped to see what once was called the 8<sup>th</sup> wonder
of the world, in he Allegany National Forest, is the most amazing Kinzua
Bridge. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>This bridge was built in 1882, it was truly an engineering masterpiece. </b>It once soared 301 feet high and 2,053 feet across and was at one time he highest and longest railroad bridge in the world. The engineer, who built it, Octave Chanute, also helped the Wright Brothers fly! I would have loved to have met that man! 125 men completed that bridge in just 94 days, that’s crazy!<br />
<br />
It was an engineering breakthrough; they designed tall wrought iron columns able to resist vibration and buckling.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1900 they had the trains became heavier, so they had to erected with 6.7 million pounds of steel. <br />
<br />
Then in 2003, in 30 seconds, mother nature sent through a tornado. She tore through the forest, ripped out 100s of trees and 11 of the bridges 20 towers were lifted and thrown onto the valley floor.<br />
<br />
Now the bridge is a Sky Walk, they even added a window floor where it ends.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We were very impressed. </div>

We started in Ohio, hiked around <a href="http://www.visitgenevaonthelake.com/" target="_blank">Geneva on the Lake</a>. We hiked the main drag through the marina lodge, through a State Park and back. Enough for Buddy to find his first fish and ROLL! NOOO!<br />
We like to start in Geneva on the Lake, see our good friends and enjoy this fun Summer town.<br />

It's lovely. However, we had an adventure where Buddy went missing in the 5,300 acres of forest land. Duke rescued Buddy.

64 km (or 40miles) of trails, we only explored 30 km of them. Two included finding waterfalls, LOVE that.<br />
<br />
They had all types of camp sites. Sites with electricity were $23 per night. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span><br />

Camp Creek State Park's had excellent hiking through rolling hills. The camping was good, not very private though, we'd have liked more trees, but we did back <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="685fba1a-0b1f-4e53-8465-6ac972c8b8fa" id="5b733816-ef6f-4974-9be1-552be57cfd18">onto</span> a small creek.<br />
<br />
We were able to hike and view the waterfalls without any crowds. Trail maps were a little off, but, the trails were very well marked and an excellent challenge.<br />
<br />
<br />
We met some wonderful people while there, they recommended we go to Hungry Mother State Park in Virginia for some excellent camping and hiking. So, that's where we headed to next.<br />

Just us and the Camp Hosts. The Camp Hosts were new, it was their first week was Camping hosts ever and the wife of the couple had never camped before. They were very excited. They get to camp for 6 weeks, while hosting those who come to the camp. Limited duties actually sounded fun!<br />

The locals in North Carolina are also some of the MOST friendly people we've met. Everyone says hello are very welcoming. You can tell the tourist as they aren't as friendly.<br />
<br />
There weren't very many tourists this time of year, the locals seemed to take breaks in their day to come up from Asheville to run or bike through the hills.<br />

The rangers must have been new. I asked them where the trails were, they said we had to get into a car and drive a few miles to find them. GUESS WHAT?? The trail heads were actually right at our campsite! I'm glad we always take a walk around and explore on our own.<br />

We found a very green river, called the Green River. It was So hot the boys needed to go it, much to my worries.. But, they seemed to be fine and they VERY much enjoyed the swim. I think that Buddy went in deeper than he hoped, he hasn't actually swam yet, Duke's the water baby. <br />

We hiked the first morning, none of us could sleep. So we hit the trails at 6:30am. We didn't see anyone. We did a most difficult and more difficult trail. The most difficult was easy peasy coming back downhill. MANY trails to choose from.. We were in HEAVEN! Buddy and Duke were staying with me and being VERY well behaved. I had them on Leash most of the time, except those passes that were too narrow and steep. Even then they were on invisible leashes. </div>
<br />
It was beautiful. Waterfalls, leaves just coming in, everything fresh and alive. 5,300 acres to roam.<br />

Our third hike had some drama to it.. We were on what they classify as their MOST DIFFICULT trail. So, very steep, many switch back, so minimal distance visibility and BIG winds. So, I had them off leash so we didn't kill each other, but, had them healing very close ahead of me, with their invisible leashes on. All of a sudden Buddy took off after something I didn't see. Duke followed. I tapped them both with the invisible leash, Duke came back right away, ALONE.<br />

First time every he didn't respond. Yelled for at least 5mins, tapped for part if it and then stopped tapping, as after a while you know he just doesn't know where you are anymore, so using the invisible leash won't work as he won't know which way to go. It was SO windy up on the mountain that he couldn't hear me much and our scent would be difficult to find too. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Finally, I asked DUKE, where’s Buddy? Duke stood really still and tall for a few long moments. Then, he looked at me and turned and walked off the trail 90 degrees into the woods, and he looked back for me to follow. I followed, whistling and callng the whole time. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Duke lead me right to Buddy after 20 or 30 very long minutes! Buddy finally came back over a ridge right to us.. he was definitely out the way Duke was leading me. Duke's amazing. </div>

He circled us then ran to a stream 12 feet away from us and drank deeply and then laid in the stream for a while. We all just hung out there until he was breathing normal.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>

<br />
Then I asked Duke to find the path, as I was now lost, and he did that too. We continued our trek. He stayed very close after that.<br />
<br />
<br />
Duke was very proud of himself for finding Buddy. He too seemed exhausted afterwards. Duke and Buddy crashed hard when we got back to our campsite. Buddy was panting even when he was sleeping.<br />

He kept looking back at where Duke found him.<br />

We're truly off grid more then normal, so, I'm going to post a few adventures at one time.</div>

since kindergarten, so, it’s a wonderful way to re-calibrate and get ready for
another adventure. This year we went to visit vineyard, I recommend that adventure anytime of year.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
This time of year Geneva on the The Lake, a small fun summer
town, is just getting ready for their season. It's quiet, but the vineyards are
still open. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was voted as one of the top 5 FUN towns in the USA. It's a throwback summer town.. Feels like you're in the 50s. </div>

We found out that Buddy like to roll in SMELLY fish.. not pleasant.. we're going to have to figure out how to put an end to that.<br />

He looks ALOT like DUKE! Duke's now 8.5 years old, and Buddy, they think is around a year old. Duke's helping us trail Buddy. They're getting alone so well. We love them both so much.<br />
<br />
Buddy was a stray, when we adopted him he was (and still is) very loving. His ribs were showing and the pads on his paws where cracked. Both from being on the streets alone during our very cold winter.<br />
<br />
He's healthy and strong. Together we all explore 4km to 15km of trails daily. <br />
<br />
We're about to hit the road again, another road trip, Buddy's first. We're heading down to North Carolina to camp. Can't wait!<br />
<br />

In the news today.. <a href="http://www.dukestrailtour.com/">www.DukesTrailTour.com</a><br />
"In 2005 when Sofie adopted brought a tiny Belgian Shepherd puppy home from the Peterborough Humane society, she had no idea that the little ball of energy would become her gateway to adventures all over the world.<br />
<br />
While nobody knows for sure what tragedies Duke experienced prior to his brief stay at PHS, it’s certain that his life today is full of excitement and love. Since 2010, Sofie and her husband Jerry have been taking Duke on adventures locally and around the world. On their blog “Duke’s Roadtrips and Trails,” they document their canine companion’s journeys across the globe. In his nine brief years, Duke has scoured the red-sand beaches of PEI, hiked the hilly terrain of Oregon, and traveled through the eerie desert of Joshua Tree National Park. Between all the adventures, he’s benefited from the unwavering love and support of his “humans.”owners to join them on June 22nd advocate for animals in need… and to give other dogs (and cats, bunnies, turtles and mice) a chance at a full life, just like Duke.<br />

On the ROAD AGAIN!It's been a long winter, we didn't get away this year! So, this is our first venture out. We thank T for staying at the house again! YOU'RE THE BEST!<br />

Many have become our closest friends, those who haven't generally it's because we haven't chatted yet! The gathering happens, as follows, starts with an empty field, buses and campers gather. The organizing committee tries to herd VW owners through Registrations, grab bags, <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="c187f732-ac13-4661-9adc-4d239b179e95" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="bae3e3d7-d896-4476-a865-7533de65e83f" grcontextid="t-shirts:0">t-shirts</span>, hugs.. Everyone finds any spot they want. Some want water front, others like to be in the middle of the field, others want near the stables. Most everyone creates some sort of circling the of the VW wagons with friends. Very much like being gypsies I think. Snack time happens around 3pm, everyone brings out something to share, wine, cheeses, shrimp, tequila punch, or turds! (Turds are Paul's amazing creations from his green egg.. <span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold; line-height: 16px;">jalapeño</span> peppers stuffed with cheese wrapped in bacon, BBQ'd in a Green <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="fdb2bebf-8444-42a2-890c-6a18c8f33852" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="4d19ea88-3c8b-4f9c-9e80-d4b361c14efb" grcontextid="egg:0">egg</span>.. We're glad to be their friends!).<br />
Then everyone has dinner, either alone or in groups. One of the nights there is always a communal dinner, it's also when door prizes and announcements are made.<br />

This year's Busfuison had some extra bonuses! The organizing committee outdid themselves! They had made an amazing Quilt, a Bus Quilt of course, and had a draw for it. They also had a fundraiser for MS, where four men became beardless, and one beardless and bald. Eric, Doug & Frank were great sports about it. Then at the last moment Greg, George and Marshal also become beardless wonders for the fundraising efforts. Some of the wives were happy with the transformation, and others remembered why their husbands had beards in the first place! OUCH!<br />

Finally, on the Saturday night, after the Puppy Parade, where I sorely embarrassed DUKE! I turned him into a Duchess, he also had a wardrobe malfunction.. <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="c0031987-b1ef-4e24-a4a8-7dd213942a33" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="751afddb-b159-46e6-a7b7-efa69a4513bf" grcontextid="then:0">then</span> the shaving, then the group dinner, the 50/50 draw and door prizes.. <span style="font-family: inherit;">We had amazing live music & dancing. Outstanding Saturday evening by <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18.88888931274414px;">Ariana and David Gillis, and Ben Rollo!</span></span><br />
<br />
It did rain most of Thursday, Friday and Saturday, but, we managed to get in runs, swims and bike rides in every day. Sunday the sun came out, so we stayed until Monday. Most left on Sunday, after the burrito breakfast and the draw for the Quilt. We stayed, enjoyed a day of chit chat, wandering<br />

Started in Halifax went coast to coast in both Canada and the US and Mexico and Belize and Guatemala and back! WOW! Now, that's an adventure worth having!!<br />

For our last night of camping we’re heading toward Saute Saint Marie! We stayed at a Provincial Park called Pancake Provincial Park for our last night. It was right on Lake Superior. We got there, Jerry drove almost 11 hours yesterday, without any Timmy’s or Internet.. And very few gas stations along the way. So, he needed some alone time when we got to our site. Duke and I took off to see what was around, we loved, how could you not, the Lake. We found a couple of trails, they were hiking trails, lots to choose from. We came back for a shrimp and slider dinner. Slept early, conditioning ourselves for 6:30am wake ups again. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So we took off in the morning for a short run and instead got drawn to the Lake. She’s intoxicating. We went back and got Jerry to share it with us, he too loved it and said he could see coming back here(ish) to camp for a few days. </div>

I agreed, but, I’d like to go to the Superior Lake Provincial Park instead, it had even more Trials to choose from! <span style="font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></div>

We left the Park at 8:30am, and stopped for the only gas place in the area. It had the BEST service we’ve ever had anywhere ever in our whole lives… You drove up, the guy comes to your window and says “How can I help you? (We said.) Then he says.. "Do you have any garbage you’d like me to dispose for you? We have free coffee inside for you, coffee’s on, go enjoy. We have clean bathrooms around the corner.“ He then comes back with a dog cookie for Duke. He then comes back with a LADDER to clean our front windows! And his prices were “only” $1.30/liter, the best prices we’d seen in a while. The place is called <b>Agawa Indian Crafts</b>, I’d suggest it worth a stop! They have a bunch of cool souvenirs in side too, and the prices weren’t bad and the quality was good!

<div class="MsoNormal">
So, the second camping adventure on the way home from Alberta happened in Ontario, north
east of Dryden. Nicest people in the
world in Dryden, a little town of 8,700(ish) people, but, the people have the
BIGGEST hearts anywhere. We did a Social
Media Seminar there a year and a half ago, we do a lot of seminars now, but, I
still remember the quality of people we met there, they had us to their homes,. They all have an exceptional pride of place. </div>

We found another Provincial Park, this one calls Sandbar Provincial Park. The sites are very nice, the electrical sites which back on to the water are my favorite, they each of had their own path going to the water. If you can, get 7e when you are there, however, any of them are wonderful. The campsite is small, so, nothing is far from anything. They had nature trails, I don’t do well running on nature trails, as there are routes and such, as I have depth perception issues to start with, I trip a lot. So, we explored. Duke and I found the water right away, ok maybe he found it first. We went back to get Jerry, it was too beautiful not to share. Each camp site on the water side have these little trails to their own beach or water with rocks.<br />

So we took off and went to the water. We wondered a little, and we left the
campsite by 8am as we didn’t have anyplace to run. Gas prices up here in Upsula, Ontario are
insane, when they don’t post them out
side, you know they’re high! Upsula,
Ontario gas price was $1.49/liter as there isn’t competition here. They said it was at $1.59 in May here, and
they’ve been steady at 1.49 since, ouch! It was only $1.08/liter in Alberta. In
Kenora and Dryden was $1.26, we should have filled up then! This is definitely
the highest we’ve paid. 3 liter
difference from our last fill yet, $48 difference in price! OUCH! We take 155liters to fill up, thank goodness
we weren’t empty. </div>

We headed home after after Saskatoon, only 32 hours of the trip left.. we will stop every 8ish hours or until we’re exhausted, whichever comes last. We stopped in what has become one of my favorite running trail camping parks ever. It’s in Manitoba, called <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Spruce Woods Provincial Park</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"> in Manitoba</span> LOVED IT. As we drove off of the highway and toward the Park, you kept seeing Trail signs. Some were the Transcanada trails. We got to the gates to check in, being the last Friday before Labor Day, all the electrical sites where already taken, however, they gave us a full Group electrical site for the same price as an individual site. We had the whole thing to ourselves, it was wonderful. Duke and I took off right away, as always, and found the closets entrance to a trail. I was in-love immediately!

The
trails were wide enough to run, but not so wide as to kill the feel of being in
the forest or meadows. They had tiny
white limestone rocks on the whole trail, which was really nice to run on. There are more then 300 of kms of trails, JOY! We
explored alittle so we could figure out where we’d go for a run in the morning,
we found a crazy site, a icerink in the woods, looks almost haunted in the
summer. </div>

We went back for a wonderful
pasta and sausage dinner, thank you honey! Then, as we didn’t have internet, but we had
electricity, I worked for a few hours on client materials and then we watched a
movie. The morning Duke and I took off,
we had a WONDERFUL morning, we had to be back and ready to go by 9am, so we
only had limited time and so many trails to choose from! AHAHAH! I'll be back!!!</div>

We ran 4km to a lookout point, missed the lookout point as I wanted to go to the road and see what the signs said, so, instead we ended up at another little trail, a really really steep trail that went down to the water and back up. I am very glad we did it was the views were beautiful.<br />

Cool guest book in the middle of the trail! :) Great idea. I wonder what they do with it?<br />
<br />
But, now we were really LATE and I was still determined to fine the lookout point we set out to find. We found it, it was right were we left the trail! (of course) So, we climbed up and took some photos.

Then we had the 4km run back! We knew Jerry
would be alittle miffed as we promised to be ready to leave by 9am. I always have to shower and have a portent
shake after I run. We got back at
9:15am, he laughed at us and said, so, you got lost again, didn’t you? It’s all on how you define lost I
suppose. We were on the road by 9:45am,
not so bad I thought. We found a camel
on the road, found that odd, ends up there are also Sand Dunes in that park! I
so need to go back! I’d love to stay a few days at that park and explore! </div>

Jerry’s son is in the army, they posted him two hours from our home when his family first started growing, then two years ago, they moved him 40hours away! AAHAH! I really miss seeing and hanging out with them. Our daughter-in-law is an exceptional teacher, so, she’s been able to find the jobs she wants each time they’ve moved. I was delighted that she had started running too, I was delighted as we went for a 6.5km run/walk every morning, she kicked my butt, she’s fast!<o:p></o:p></div>

We next went camping for one sleep with our oldest granddaughter. She very much likes to read maps, find clues and find treasures. We were on a look out for someone calls “One Eyed Willy”. She has a whole story about this fellow; I have no clue if it’s real or make-believe. We built birds’ nests, played and explore. Healthy eating was avoided, Popsicle for breakfast was promised and delivered! We watched Madagascar 2 till 11pm, we both giggled and loved it!<br />

It’s very different visiting two boys then two girls. With the boys there seems to be constant wrestling, jumping off furniture, shooting webs or guns, grunting, meltdowns, and then it starts again; whereas with girls there is chitchat, giggles, high high pitched screeches, meltdowns, silence and then it starts again.

Our granddaughters live in St. Albert Alberta, we live in Peterborough Ontario, so just a 7,000km round trip trip! Jerry drives and I work. He's got my travelling office wired for electricity and as well as he has me set up so I can access highspeed in the US through Verizon and in Canada through Bell. I posted a photo of my Hotspot on Facebook, it certainly got some interested comments. </div>

It was eight hours from our home, but, more importantly, a VW (our other vehicle of pleasure travel), owns campground up that way. It's on 21 acres, half are seasonal spots and half over nighters. He is on a little River which seems to have some good fishing, kayaking and canoeing My passion are trails & hiking, as you might have guested, with my personal Twitter Handle being @Live4Trails, there weren't any trails for me, so we enjoyed our visit with our friend! We had a wonderful meal (as any road warrior knows, food is important, we had Steak & Shrimp the first night), catch up time around a fire and tried roasting some Marshmallows and Strawberries. </div>

We got on our way around 8am the next morning, and crossed into the States at <span style="background-color: #f3f7fd; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Sault Ste</span><span style="background-color: #f3f7fd; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">. </span><span style="background-color: #f3f7fd; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Marie Ontario, into Michigan. We were aiming toward the Ottawa National Forest to camp in, when we realized our nephew's new bride's mom & brother live on the edge of the Ottawa National Forest, in Ironwood Michigan. So, we called, they said come for dinner. We brought wine and cake. We parked on their driveway over night, and had a wonderful evening. The wedding between our two families was just two weeks ago, so, we had lots to talk about. It was the FUNNEST wedding anyone's ever attended, but, that's another story.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">After our time with the new family in Ironwood, we aimed headed toward Turtle River State Park. I needed a trail fix by this point, too many marshmallows, wine, cake & sitting. Turtle River State Park is in North Dakota. We took Hwy 2 from Ironwood Michigan, all the way across Minnesota and right to Turtle River State Park in North Dakota. Hwy 2 is a nice route, as we don't like big highways as you miss too much of life, but, I need a smooth surface to work on. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />So, in Minnesota, around a small town called Bagely, our brakes and steering started singing or screeching (depending on your point of view). We've learnt to stop at AutoPart stores and share with them what's going on and ask them to recommend a mechanic in the area. They said to go three streets off the hwy2, turn right at the pile of dirt, then stay on that road till it turns into a gravel road, then look left till you see what looks like a garage. </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> The </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Sheriff</span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> of the town was there too, so, he offered to escort us so we won't get lost. They all stopped what they were working on, huddled under the Balloo (that's our RV's name), and came out with a piece of pipe which fell off when they touched it.. it was the nut/bolt part, a pipe full of rust holes. Outcome would have been we'd have lost our steering and brakes in a short while longer. We where VERY lucky to be that close to Braaten Repair garage in Bagley, MN. THANK YOU BOYS! The part which was rusted away was a custom pipe buid, so, they went into their garage and jimmied and welded some pieces together. Within an hour we were on route again. 80 dollars in total, labor, parts and supplies. We where happy and alive.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We got into Turtle River State Park a couple hours before mosquitoes would be arriving, so as Jerry likes to unwind around the camp, Duke (our dog) and I like to explore right away. So, we hopped on a bike and made for the trails. Turtle River is 800 ish acres, much of it a trail system. The Trail system is 3km from the campgrounds. They have hiking and mountain bike trails. We explored just for the two hours of daylight we had, then returned for a wonderful BBQ salmon-kibos Jerry had made for us. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The next morning, we got up early, Duke & I that is, and explored the trails </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">a little</span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> more. Came back, we packed up, and hit the road for day four of heading toward our granddaughters. We started heading north, we were aiming just north to Regina, but, as we got closer, we noticed Buffalo Pound River looking interesting. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So, after eight hours of driving we went to Buffalo Pound River </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Provincial</span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> Park to find they were sold out! It was after all a Saturday. But, there's a App for that! Jerry's got a camping App on his Android Phone, so, we found a Campground called Buffalo River View just 6km away. We called, they had ONE spot left. We got there, felt very welcome and lucky! This wasn't a over night campground, it was a seasonal campground, lots of families with real cool campsites. They had ONE site for overnighters (i guess if one of the seasonals brings a guest in with an RV). Well, we were happy, as it wasn't a cement slab of camp site, we HATE those. So, Jerry set up camp, Duke and I took off. There was a hill right behind us, we climbed it and found the most wonderful views. Who knew </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Saskatchewan</span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> was so beautiful!

<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">(This photos is Duke and I lost in the morning, we could see the hill about three hills over we're suppose to be at, but, could get there from here there where all these steep parts.. )</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In the morning, we wanted to just hit the road, as we're very excite to get with the kids, so, Duke & I just went for what was suppose to be a 5min walk, I somehow got lost, as I started wondering around the campsite, then climbed a random hill, went from hill top to hill top and couldn't figure out how to get down again.. we could see where we needed to be, but couldn't get there. So, Duke just went down one spot where wasn't very steep, I followed him, into someone's campback yard, the lady had a blue fuzzy bathrobe with pink fuzzy slippers and a coffee and smoke going. Thank goodness she was ok with us appearing through her bushes and into her yard. We found the dirt road we were suppose to be on again, and made it back to our campsite. Jerry mentioning "what happened to our early start".. I answering ".. it was Duke's fault not mine!" Jerry is very use to my taking walks and getting caught up in the wonders around us. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I have also gotten lots of good work finished in the very flat straight roads between here and there, I've completed updating my book, reformatted it, split it into two smaller books (one for a leader of a company and one for the Social Media Gurur of a company). I'm now converting each chapter into ebooks.. HAPPY!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />So, we're on our last day of driving to our Granddaughters! We can't wait! I'm not planning anywork while with them, just lots of playing and adventures. We'll be heading back in a few days, Taking a different route, stopping in to see good friends and Jerry's "other" daughter and her two sons in Saskatoon on the first night, then through Manitoba and toward home. There are some provincial parks with Trails we'll stop at on the way back!</span></div>
