This morning, we woke up at 7:30, went for a shopping trip at Walmart, and then began driving toward Winnipeg. Sometime during the early afternoon, we decided that we would drive until Dryden, ON, a small town between Thunder Bay and Winnipeg. The drive was very consistent and lacking in attractions, yet very beautiful and scenic. We gained and lost quite a bit of elevation, passing by many frozen lakes and rivers. At about 7pm we arrived in Dryden, and had a quick dinner at Pizza Hut, while planning the next few days of our trip. Tonight, we’re sleeping in the Walmart parking lot in Dryden, ON.
