Today I took highway 71 from Fort Frances back up to Kenora, and was back on the familiar Trans-Canada from there to Winnipeg.<\/p>\n

I really like the #11\/ #71 route from Kenora to Thunder Bay via Fort Frances – it’s much more scenic than the default #17 route, and because it’s slightly longer and slower, there’s less traffic too.<\/p>\n

The weather cleared up overnight and it was sunny again today.\u00a0 Because of crossing a time zone boundary yesterday, I was up earlier than usual today, and this sight greeted me out my hotel window:<\/p>\n

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the sun so close to the eastern horizon. Does it do that often?<\/p>\n

(Oh yeah: Last night after dark, I was able to see lots of stars from my balcony.\u00a0 That was nice – I really miss stargazing.)<\/p>\n

Some fall colors from today’s drive:<\/p>\n

What are you doing in Canada department:<\/p>\n

When I work on my timelapse movie I’m going to have to put together a collection of amusing signs caught by my dashboard-cam.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When in Winnipeg, I always raid Baked Expectations<\/a> – since I’m not expecting to be back this way anytime soon, I picked up desserts for tonight and the next two nights (I don’t think I can keep them sufficiently well refrigerated to last longer than that).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the next two nights I’ll be staying in Wasagaming; taking a driving break this weekend and vegging on the beach.\u00a0 I don’t expect to have Internet access there so there aren’t likely to be any updates until Monday night.<\/p>\n
