We took our time at Pancake Bay in the morning. Family needed a re-group after the late arrival the previous night. We did pack up relatively efficiently and as we completed the process we all went to the lake. We dipped our feet in Superior, collected stones for Houdini’s garden and ran and played in the sand. We checked out good campsites for potential visits on the way home or in years to come. There are lots, the whole place is very beautiful and I think we could spend an entire vacation there. As we left, a fun run just began and we checked out the other events on the park bulletin…lots happening, great place!

The next leg saw us get 80kms down the road and break for lunch in Sault Ste. Marie. We ate Aurora’s pizza which was amazing and had a two plus hour break. So, at about 2:30pm we set out for our second to last destination, Bracebridge, ON. It was a bang on trip. Good timing for pit stops and cooperative young ones. We arrived at the Wilson clan’s humble abode by 10:30pm and all settled in for a good sleep.

We had a couple of restful nights parked inthe driveway and some great walks on the trail system. The pit stop in the Muskoka’s was highlighted by Russell Guy meeting his Aunt Sas and Uncle Scott for the first time and the whole family spending time with Great Grandma Ivie.
