Day 80 - Wabigoon, ON

Today is the day we will be back in our home province of Ontario. Almost three months we have been gone from home and its time to get back. If the wildfires had not been that bad we would have stayed in BC longer. Some of the areas we drove through are now being evacuated. Scary!!!

We left Portage early in the morning, got through Winnipeg and then crossed over into Ontario a couple of hours later. The trip was pretty much uneventful, it's mainly just going from one place to the next. We did stop in Vermilion Bay for diesel and they had the largest Inukshuk I have seen.

The Inukshuk is a figure made of piled stones or boulders constructed to communicate with humans throughout the Arctic. A red inukshuk adorns the flag of Nunavut. For centuries, the Inuit people of Canada’s Arctic stacked rock in human form to create the Inukshuk, a steadfast guidepost that provided direction across the vast horizons of the North. Over time, the Inukshuk became a symbol of hope and friendship, an eternal expression of the hospitality.

We arrived in Wabigoon, ON which is another campground we stayed in on the way out west. I did the outside stuff while Susan did the inside stuff. All done, dogs walked now time to relax. For some reason the road noise is so loud today, I don't remember it being like that the last time we stayed here. Oh well shut the windows and turn on the air. Tomorrow is another travelling day.
