Travels With Stacey

We have visited the North Bay area several times, and I kept omitting to visit this one location.  I can’t tell you why.  It is effortless to find.  It is on the main road leading north of the city, has a huge parking lot, and…

Today is Day 2 of our road trip to Alaska.  I have us getting up early but I might be changing that because the new tent that we have set up and takes down very quickly. Our itinerary for July 2:

It is the first day our epic trip to see Alaska.  Day one includes waking up at an ungodly hour and getting a huge head start on the drive.  I have always wanted to travel the entire length of Highway 11 here in Ontario, and…
