Time to get home!

Mosquitoes outside preventing me from sitting at the picnic table. I could put some stuff on but I really do not feel like it, so back inside behind a screen door.

I visited Fort William today, an historical park built to (I suppose) the original’s specs.

The park’s employees are dressed circa 1815 but somewhat taller than all the small beds in the quarters are witness to the actual size of men at the time.

I learned enough about the fur trade today, not that much given the circumstances (children asking questions about everything that actually mattered but not on period trade stats and issues), to read up on it once back. Touching the fur (and there is a lot of it everywhere) is allowed and encouraged. This stuff actually happened and a lot of animals died for tourism.

OK, I know, that’s from a Steve Martin song…King Tut.

It is a marvelous park and you can park your RV there at competitive rates. If you do not have an RV to sleep in, they will rent you one.

I highly recommend this place and apparently things pick up as the summer progresses…that is if it ever arrives! Today perhaps?

So, after so many weeks on the road, I take off tomorrow for some heavy driving to get home.

With over 600 km to drive, Thursday will be a long one and I doubt I will unhitch tomorrow so I can leave once ready Thursday morning.  Having said that, it will be a beautiful drive along Superior.

It has been quite an adventure!

I wonder what the next one will be!
