Day 4 - Thunder Bay

The motel in Verdin was a little underwhelming, to say the least. I thought all those big rigs parked in the lot meant the place was pretty nice. I guess truckers can be wrong sometimes too. It was next door to a Tim Horton's though. But then again, pretty much everything on this highway is next to a Tim Horton's.

Since we had only planned on getting as far as Regina the night before, we were now officially ahead of schedule, which was a good thing because the eastern Ontario leg is only two lanes, and the weather was starting to get dicey. Thunder Bay was our destination tonight -- a good 12 hours of driving awaited us. Plus a stop at the Royal Canadian Mint in Winnipeg. We found a nice little motel in the country that night, and collapsed into bed.

Typical road fuel. A cross country drive is not a good place to start a diet...



A very rare giant quarter where the Queen looks kind of like a fluffy dog...



Sunflowers as far as the eye can see.





Our hideaway for the evening. this shot was actually taken the next morning cause we didnt get to the place until very late the night before.
