Last summer, while taking in the breath taking vistas and winding highways around Lake Superior by motorcycle, we found ourselves in Thunder Bay for the night. What amazed us was how welcoming the city is to motorcyclists. We like to scope out the motorcycle shops when we travel...just to make sure we can get servicing if we need it. Heading north on 61, we located our first dealer, Excalibur Motorcycle Works just off the highway near the airport. Just a half mile up the highway, we turned onto Arthur Street and quickly noticed Thunder Bay Harley Davidson . Whether it was coincidence or not, we were impressed to see the bike dealers so close to the highway. While we didn't need any parts or…

I have driven past the turn-off to Killarney for years when heading south for business, so one day, when I had some extra time on my hands, I decided to see what all the fuss was about. While driving down the pristine highway 637 to Killarney, off highway 69 south, I saw the Lacloche Mountains. I learned that these large, white mountains, which were like nothing I had ever seen in Ontario, were once taller than the Rocky Mountains in the west. I saw moose and deer in the bushes and a family of small ducks crossing the road ahead of me. It was like driving into another world! My first stop was Killarney Provincial Park on George Lake. I…

As the nose of my sea kayak sends a ripple across the mirror finish off Lake Superior's northern shore I start singing Gordon Lightfoot's Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. This is not unusual for me when paddling the big lake. While floating in a tiny craft over massive water I think it's a means of keeping me on guard. The line "The lake it is said never gives up her dead..." resonates deeply as I dip my paddle into the fathomless lake, helping to keep me wary of moods that can change from meek to merciless with little warning. And on this trip, constantly reminding myself of Superior's wrath is necessary because so far she's been uncharacteristically warm, calm and…
