Red Rock & Ontario

After Winnipeg we made a stop over to see Steve G. at Red Rock Bible Camp. That was fun. We hung out, relaxed and mountain biked. After that, it was into Ontario.

The road from Winnipeg to Ottawa is long and boring. The rolling hills are just high enough that you can never quite see over the trees. After a day of driving your reward is Thunder Bay, Ontario. Another day of driving and your reward is Sault Ste. Marie. Hoorah. (Well it's not all bad. I've discovered there are a lot of cute and friendly girls that work at fast food restaurants--I'm talking to you Sault Ste. Marie Arby's and Irving NY Tim Hortons ;-)

I've learned a couple of things about flying-by-the-seat-of-your-pants camping:
1. There are a lot of people that have houses at the end of gravel roads off desolate highways in the middle of nowhere.
2. Finding a good spot to camp is really hard to do at 2am when you can't drive or think anymore.
3. If you pull into a camp site late at night (or even early in the morning), and are honest about it, it will cost you about $25. A couple times I just wanted to leave because we didn't even use their facilities. But we registered the next morning because it is the right thing to do.

Fortunately we found some unused side roads and were able to have a peaceful sleep for free. That was nice.
