Pancake Bay to Davey's Lake ON

We didn’t leave until 6:45 EDT, 13C, real slackers this morning! This was a nice camp spot, in spite of some traffic noise as it is close to the highway. It also had a boil-water advisory and no cell service. Good washrooms though.

We saw a little black bear at the side of the road (alive!) just before White River. We stopped at the tourist center in town, cooked our breakfast in their picnic area, and fueled up nearby. No cell service at all through this area. 21C at 10am.

Nice lunch spot right by Lake Superior at Rossport right at noon.
We stopped at a Walmart in Thunder Bay about 3pm and got fuel at a PetroCan, then trekked across 102 as a bypass shortcut to 17 on the other side of TB. It got up to 27C, with the sun coming in the front window, so we finally turned on the A/C. Half an hour later it was up to 33C, thank goodness for A/C!

Saw a red fox this aft, and a deer eating alongside the road. This was a long hot drive, and even though the road itself is much improved from years past, we’ll likely try to return through the US.

We got camped about 5:00 CDT at Davey’s Lake cg, 1km south of Ignace. $10 cheaper than a provincial park, it also included wifi and lots of black flies.
