Kapuskasing Internment Cemetery was a surprise. This cemetery was an add-on to our trip. Initially, we drove by it, not knowing it even existed. We were still reeling with the shock of reading what Canada did to Ukrainians back in World War One. The day…
I needed a place to watch the sunrise. Charlene and I have never seen the sun rise into the sky in our adventures. We decided that this was going to be the year that we would finally venture to Alaska. Delay after delay (all brought…
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…
