This week we slow our pace from adventuring to exploring. Starting at the Silver Islet General Store, we learn the history of this sleepy hamlet at the end of the Sibley Road to Sleeping Giant Provincial Park. We discover an incredible building, steps from downtown Thunder Bay, and from there, we venture into the Northwest and regions previously unexplored. Our first stop yields an incredible find – a kind of undiscovered wonder of the world at the Kay-Nah-Chi-Wah-Nung historic centre, home to 800 year old First Nations burial mounds.
After the massive embarrassment at having kayaked the whole evening with my paddle backwards at the Killarney Mountain Lodge, Scott Green of Green Adventures gives me a lesson I won’t soon forget. And of course, what trip to the Northwest and Lake of the Woods would be complete without a fishing trip to find the Ontario’s elusive game fish -the MUSKIE.
Now that’s we’ve made it as far west as we can drive, we have one last trip that takes us farther away from home that we’ve ever been…but you’ll have to tune in next week to find out!
