Thunder Bay, Ontario in the morning and Steinbach, Manitoba 716 kilometers later! It was a glorious, sunny morning when we left the hotel, Highway 17 west wound its way between the lakes and up and over the many hills. I would never call them mountains but they did make the ride more entertaining. A lot of Semis use this highway and everyone travels a lot faster than the posted speed of 90 kms/hr. The trees all seem to be stunted; the spruce look just like those on the Christmas cards. Still haven’t seen any wildlife yet.
We veered away from Winnipeg to go to this little town; a Days Inn had a billboard which bragged about a pool, hot tub etc….. wouldn’t you know it they had NO rooms! We are in a little Motel down the road, and there is no hope of finding a Martini in this town.
716/7130 kms
