Day 4 - Wawa RV Campground, Wawa, ON

Today we are travelling from Chutes PP to Wawa, ON a distance of 437 km or 272 miles. It's also the first day we are travelling together as a group. We have travelled to Labrador and Newfoundland together but that was with a very large caravan. 

There are some ground rule when travelling together in RV's. Everyone has to know the end of the days destination. Also if you need gas/diesel say so, don't run out or even worse get caught in no mans land with no stations for 100 miles. And the most important if you need a pee break just let everyone know your stopping or want to stop. Nine time out of ten we will all need to pee. We're not young spring chickens anymore.

The trip took us along the North Channel of Georgian Bay into Sault Ste Marie then along Lake Superior into Wawa.
Unfortunately we hit allot of construction which slowed us down considerably. However, we are not in a hurry so everyone just sat back and enjoyed the scenery.

We stopped at a scenic lookout overlooking Alona Bay on Lake Superior. Did you know Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area and the third largest in volume. If Lake Superior's coast was unraveled into a highway, it would extend 2,939 kms or 1826 miles. More than the distance from Alona Bay to Miami. The deepest spot at 406 meters or 1,322 feet is located 140 kms or 87 miles to the west.
To the left of the little island 30 kms or 19 miles, on November 9th 1975 the Edmund Fitzgerald, a 222 meter or 729 foot long iron ore carrier, sank with all 29 hands on board. 

Theano Point is the suspected location of Canada's first uranium discovery in 1847 by Dr. John Le Conte.

 We finally arrived at Wawa RV Campground and none to soon. It has to be beer thirty or happy hour time. I know I sure need an adult beverage. But first I have some landscaping or tree maintenance to do. My job is never done.

Can you see the wine glass on the table in the foreground. They started without me. I'll catch up don't you worry.
