Have T@b will travel: Ramblings from the road!

Well folks, here we are in Dryden Ontario! We left Toronto on Monday morning, and with Graham's superb driving skills we have made it this far safely! I just have to say, Ontario is a really, really big province! From Toronto to our current location, it was 1717 km. and we still aren't at the Manitoba border! Anyhoo! With some long driving hours, we have made it up and over the Great Lakes! The scenery was beautiful, we can now see why people love their Cottage Country vacations! Again, we took the free camping option and stayed at a Walmart in Sudbury. Home of the Big Nickel! Which I forgot to get a photo of! Oops! We then had one night at a Winnie the Pooh rest stop! Yup! You heard me right! The small town of White River is famously known for the small black cub that later became the bear from the children's Winnie the Pooh books! As the story goes... Back in 1914, Lt Harry Colebourn of the Army Veterinarian Corps, purchased the cub while on route overseas (he thought it would be a good mascot, interesting)… He named her Winnie after his home town of Winnipeg! So when Harry had to go serve in France, the bear was kept in the care of the London Zoo. Winnie eventually became a full time resident, loved by all, including the famous author A.A. Milne and his son Christopher! All righty, must wrap up this post! I start you off with some photos of our Bobby Orr sticker quest!
