Before leaving Sault Ste Marie, located near Lake Superior, we visited the bushplane museum. in Sault Ste Marie. Plane models, the history of fighting forest fires and today's situation. It is all there. A lot of interactive exhibits. Really nice.
It was time for more driving. Through Thunder Bay, where we stopped at the statue of Terry Fox, one of Canadian's heros. Terry got cancer and at an age of 18 his right leg had to be amputed. At the age of 21, he attempted the run coast to coast, from the East in New Foundland to the Pacific Ocean. Terry did not make it, as his illness did not allow him, he died in 1981.
Today however, Canada runs the "Terry Fox Run", this year it is on the 19th of September. Internationally more and more countries participate in the marathon against cancer and collect money for this cause.
Quite a story.
We went on to our next 'home' for the night. This time in Kenora, Ontario. A place we will remember for sure. We just arrived and various camping neighbours were ready to help us to make our stay as nice as possible. Including a family who went fishing that day and had plenty, already BBQ'ed fish for us. Great stuff. It was really delicious.
