Crossing the US border on Thursday I was off on another Chipmunk Adventure. I do not really have a plan. I have a few places I want to visit and a few people I want to hug while I am over here but no clear plan. It was funny though, maybe funny is not theContinue reading “A Chipmunk Adventure into the US Begins.”

Crossing the US Border
Finally after 20 months the land border to the United States and Canada is open as of November 8 2021. Just for reference the US and Canada have the longest land border in the world. With 119 land borders over 8800 km (5525 miles) that is a lot of closer. I have been crossing theContinue reading “Crossing the US Border”
Northern Ontario in the Fall
Northern Ontario is beautiful anytime of year but fall has a special beauty all its own. The forests transform from a warm green to a chilly, crisp world filled with color. There are not a lot of Provincial parks open into the fall especially in the north but Arrowhead is available until the end ofContinue reading “Northern Ontario in the Fall”
The Last Leg of an Incredible Journey
As we left Halifax with a thanks and a fond farewell we headed north. We had one more stop before leaving Nova Scotia.

Well asContinue reading “The Last Leg of an Incredible Journey”

Exploring Newfoundland: Welcome to St. John’s
We left Dildo with a giggle and a wave and headed down the highway to St. John’s. I was excited to visit as I had heard what a beautiful city it was. I was not disappointed. The architecture is as colorful as its citizens. We had decided we would get a room downtown by theContinue reading “Exploring Newfoundland: Welcome to St. John’s”
Exploring Newfoundland:The Chipmunk Adventure Continues
After leaving beautiful Rocky Harbour we took a little off the beaten path to a little place called Norris Point. From there you could see what we would later find out is The Tablelands. All we could see were mountains that looked like mountains of dirt. What was that??? We would have to find out.Continue reading “Exploring Newfoundland:The Chipmunk Adventure Continues”
