Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown.

August 6 Burk's Falls Ontario Pleasant and uneventful drive to Burk's Falls. The roads are good and very little traffic. I even drive half the way after a stop at Tim Hortons - a canadian institution - for coffee and cookies. The scenery changes to vast mixed forest and frequent lakes with long straight roads. Almost no buildings just miles of nature. The view is uplifting and makes driving a breeze. Stop at a lakeside picnic area for a comfort break and have to work hard to stop the boys getting soaked in the lake. Nearing our destination a few 'towns' [View Full Entry]
