V7E23: And Suddenly There Was Snow

Fall temperatures abruptly give way to frigid, wintry conditions, as I make my way west across Ontario. From North Bay, I venture into the wilderness and explore forgotten roads en route to Sault Saint Marie. Spaghetti and pizza are enjoyed in the snow. I discover pristine campsites, contend with gratuitous deadfall, and experience the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Museum.

Thanks for showing me and other Canuck parts of our own countryside that we often take for granted and put aside to go visit other more exotic places instead. It makes us think about taking time to explore our own backcountry and communities. By the way, Sault-Ste-Marie is a french name and you were technically pronouncing it right all along (in french). Although the English population changed it to Soo. It should be pronounced ("Sow") Sault Sainte-Marie. Thanks again for the great shots and stories. It is the adversities in traveling that make it an adventure.
