And then the rains came...

July 8 - Yesterday we drove from Kakabeka Falls to Agawa Bay on Lake Superior.  The drive was long and quite slow, although beautiful and the northern Ontario roads are a lot better than I remember them.  We had booked a campsite at the Agawa Bay Provincial Park, with no real idea of what to expect.  When we arrived we were stunned by the beauty of the place and our campsite in particular.  Agawa bay is a small bay on Lake Superior and yesterday it was perfectly calm, like glass.  Our campsite was on the edge of the beach, in sand, overlooking the bay.  What a pleasant surprise.  During the night, the rains came and we had our first chance at breaking camp in rain.  It went well, faster than normal, but breakfast was at Tim Horton's.  We all agreed we prefer our own camping breakfasts!
Weather has been great - warm to hot during the day, with night time lows of around 18.   Today we drive across Manitoulin Island and take the ferry to Tobermorry, on Georgian Bay.  Tomorrow we hike to the "grotto", swim and then later in the day drive to Kitchener-Waterloo.
