The Trip

Hello Everyone!

Not only is this my first blog ever... this is the first time I've ever felt I had something to blog about!

After spending some time with friends and family we finished the packing and left on Monday Aug. 16 at about 4 pm.

Our first stop was Sudbury on monday night.  Found a hotel room and crashed! The next morning i went to the Nissan dealership because the truck was using an abnormal amount of gas.  They unplugged the O2 sensor and sent me on my way.  Fortunately we had much better gas mileage the rest of the trip.

Northern Ontario

Second day was a long day, as we made the drive from Sudbury all the way into Thunder Bay.  We took turns driving, which made it possible for us to get some km's behind us. 

Third day we made it from Thunder Bay to Winnipeg without an issue.

Fourth day we drove from Winnipeg to The Pas, at which point both Colette and Myself had had enough of the highway, and we were happy to finally be at our first destination.

It was a long drive to say the least. Coming through the concetrated population of Southern Ontario, into the vastness of Northern Ontario, into the big skies of Manitoba, and finally into Northern Manitoba.

We will be flying to Pukatawagan tomorrow at approx 3 pm.

Enjoy some pics of our trip so far!

Colette and I lerned how to make bread from my sister Barb.

We had the truck packed pretty full;)
