Summer has gone way too fast and

as our friends Mike and Mary Ellen prepare to leave for their winter home in Thunder Bay after a fun summer ....

... and the hockey team flags are put up for the forthcoming season ...

... and the kids are honing their skills in the street before the ice rinks form ...

... we have our last campfire of the season with a bit of Rickard's Red ...

... and snuggle the flamingos into their bay for the flight to the South!

Wednesday we will be off on a different route this year. Our first stop will be Dwight, Ontario, near the Algonquin Park, then motor West toward Sault Saint Marie and then across the border through Michigan toward Wisconsin.
