Salut Ste. Marie to Minesing
Ahhhhh. The home stretch. Today’s excitement included our first box of Tim Bits on the trip and a visit with Cathy’s Aunt Maddie (mogblog enthusiast) and cousin Ryan. We met at the Taphouse in Sudbury and had a great meal and got all caught up.
We are all exhausted and excited to be home. This pic is of the best road sign we saw all day.
Max missed our dog soooooo much. They were very happy to see each other after such a long time away.
We clearly had the best dog/house sitters in the world. Not only was the dog looking happy but the house and yard are looking sooooo good. Thanks again”” 🏡❤️ 🐶
In thinking about our trip we realized we have learned quite a few things. Including;
Jeep Renegades don’t like mountains.
Cathy will always win a competition to see who can keep the seat heater on the longest.
Chris HATES Cathy’s driving.
Cathy HATES Chris’s unfounded criticism of her driving.
Given the chance, Max would live on a diet of just pasta.
Rock concerts are LOUD and awesome.
Provincial parks are free in Alberta and B.C.
In a tightly packed vehicle the wheel well can hold a lot of stuff.
Ghosts are real.
There are giant tree’s in Stanley Park.
Gas is cheapest in Manitoba.
So is liquor. See wheel well comment above. 🙂
Book Wawa 5 months in advance.
Max can’t sleep in the back seat of a car. Even with two pillows, a blanket, an eye patch and a story.
Amethyst is best when you mine it yourself.
My mom drives faster then my dad.
Our feet do not stink.
Max learned what Parliament is, and he has parli-mints to prove it.
Max knows how to fish.
Although it can seem over the top- Chris’s planning is actually totally awesome.
We can come in under budget on a 25 day trip.
Motley Crew- home sweet home is the best sound track for the last few minutes of a 25 day drive.
Here are our highlights – in no particular order.
Max
-whale watching
-fishing
-Guns and Roses
-visiting with friends and family
Chris
-day 1 through 25
-Gun’s and Roses was better then expected
-too hard to pic a favourite
Cathy

Time to start planning our next trip.
The mogblog is signing off, thanks for reading. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
