A cute little town to raise a family.

Now I have heard of flying fish but never this BIG and through a roof no less!  Time for me to hop on my steed and ride away.

So at this point I am just a few miles from the Canada, time to get a helmet on and cross the border!

I am greeted at the border by the unofficial Canadian mascot!  Just 2ft from the bike!

Once in Canada, there were a number of potential stops between the border and Thunder Bay, just not enough time to take them in.    :(

Day 14 | Thunder Bay, Ontario – Wawa, Ontario

Given the fact that I was having to develop plan B on the fly, I had not conducted the research I would have liked prior to this visit.

I was informed that the Sleeping Giant Provincial Park was a must see since it contained one of Canada’s wonders.  Unfortunately after spending over 1-1/2 hrs with only a couple of cars on the road, I came up short!  I was shocked since I was informed of its beauty and uniqueness. 

Given that position, I had to take a photo to remind me of this experience.  Not to mention the fact that I came 2ft off the seat as a result of the road condition when traveling too fast!

Eagle Canyon Adventure contained Canada’s longest suspension bridge.  In addition there is a zip line ½ mile long reaching over 45mph.

Beware – To reach Eagle Canyon Adventure you must endure this road.  At this point, I reminded myself that the road conditions would be poor and there would be plenty of road construction occurring.

The Aguasabon Falls and Gorge boardwalk leads to a viewing platform overlooking the 10ft. falls.  The road is paved and the boardwalk is nice.

Highway 17 does a nice job of hugging the bay with some interesting sights along the way.  As you can see, yet another overcast day with some smoke from the Banff fires.

In addition to the Marathon Curling Club, it is home to Pebble Beach.  Now I have been to Pebble Beach in the States and even blessed to have ridden through there curtesy of fellow website members but this ain’t that Pebble Beach!
