Section 2 - Part 3 - Wawa to Thunder Bay

More Beer = More Empties = More Research Money!

We are not leaving as early as we have done before. The motel we stayed in Wawa was OK but it would have been a good place to be if there had been a fire it was full of firemen so we found out in the morning. There is a fire 60 miles north and they where being flown up there to fight it. As we where leaving they gave us a donation.

After taking advice from a truck driver we drove north and left Barry to pick up some jump leads. He found it hard to catch up with us. In trying to do that Derek was stopped in our hire car by the police for speeding. After a lot of pleading he was let off.

The LFB meets the BFB

We carried on and had lunch in a small village called town Nipigon. This is where storyline begins in the great children's book 'Paddle to the sea'. I have got a copy for Sia. Had lunch and then headed to Thunder Bay just outside there was a sign to an amethyst mine after driving down tracks up and down but we found it in the end. Managed to get a few gifts. Then on to Thunder Bay. Paul our next co driver was waiting. Rest day Monday then on to Winnipeg Tuesday.

At the Amethyst Mine

In the morning we hoping to go to the cancer hospital here. I have tried to ring them but got no where. So I will knock on the door.
