LAKE SUPERIOR PROVINCIAL PARK , ONTARIO

Brunch on our campsite beach at Agawa

Yes! he really is pushing that tree and it did move! This is what happens when you don't know how to drive a fifth wheel! Roy and I helped this couple out, they got stuck in the site by going forwards instead of backing out. They had to unscrew the awning and put it on the roof to back out! Fun and games camping! They only started last week!

Roy's Inukshuk!
We left Sault Ste. Marie with a little sadness that we were not able to have the train ride but excited about our last section of the Lake Superior Circle tour.


Our beach at Agawa Campsite




We camped at Agawa Bay campground for three nights, right next to the beautiful beach. We spent a lovely day at Agawa Rock, discovering the pictographs. Generations of Ojibwe recorded their dreams and spirits in red ochre paintings at this sacred site. The trail was short, but rugged, descending through rock chasms and broken boulders. It's only possible to view them if Lake Superior is calm, we used chains to make our way along the narrow ledge. Slightly off putting to see ropes fastened along the edge - to get you out of the water if you slip in!

Roy played on the beach when we got back building an Inukshuk – Stone figures built to resemble humans. Inukshuks (an Inuit word meaning "in the image of man" were originally built as a landmark to aid navigation and assist in caribou hunting, it has been adopted today as a symbol to remind us of our dependence on each other and the value of strong relationships. If we collect many more rocks we'll be able to set up a shop selling Inukshuks!
Weather has cooled down to around 12oC today but the sun shone all day - what more can you ask! They say it's going to drop to below freezing tonight - Oh joy!

Tied together for life!







Quite scary!
