…….
Finally finished this book today.
It’s heartwarming reading a book when you can visually put yourself in the places the author talked about.
Back in 1980 I worked at Pancake Bay Provincial Park and frequented Agawa Crafts which was right across the highway. It was a bustling place those days !!! Years later, I would drive by Voyageurs Lodge without blinking an eye or stopping to check it out. Then, one summer I booked a stay there and I’ve been hooked since. Every summer I return and stay there, enjoying the fritters, food and the amazing customer service.
This book just highlighted to me why the Canadian North shore of Lake Superior is so special.

📍Happy #TakeAHikeDay! Did you know a walk in the woods can help alleviate mental fatigue, and improve creative thinking. Hiking is also great for cardiovascular health and muscle tone. My favourite hiking places are Lake Superior Provincial Park & Pukaskwa National Park. Where do you enjoy hiking 🥾?? ##lakesuperior #algoma #ontario #travelontario #ontariotravel #worldenders #northshore #thesoo #adventure #explore #bluecarroadtripper #honda #greatlake #provincialpark #highway17 #vacation #hiking #hike (at Northern Ontario, Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClElAxEp1D2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
