Road Warriors - Day One

For those of you who were not aware, the Yost family is on the move! We are driving from Winnipeg to Ottawa and back again. Since even the cheap motels seen to have wireless internet these days you can adventure right along with us. Day one involved us leaving Kenora and driving out to Thunder Bay, here is some of the stuff we saw along the way.

This was a place called Raleigh Falls, just a simple little (downright gorgeous) picnic spot

Hence the name. I still can't believe this was just a rest area

Kakabeca Falls. This is a provincial park Ken had visited as a child with his family.

The falls are breath taking. There is a native legend that a Ojibwe chief's daughter named Green Mantle led their Sioux enemies over the falls in order to save their people from attack, and if you look closely you can see her in the mist of the falls.

This is where we bedded down for the night, the motel that time forgot.
