After leaving Thunder Bay we headed west and north toward Kenora. We are still in Ontario. You do not realize how big a province it is. We are finally into the central time zone. Kenora is on the northern edge of the Lake of the Woods, which is a large meandering lake that extends into the U.S. It is clearly a resort community: boating, fishing and winter sports. It is not that far from Winnipeg.
As we leave Kenora, the terrain changes from the forests to the plains. Clearly we are on the edge of the Great Plains. The land flattens out and farms can be seen. We stopped at the welcome center and found out that as a fund raiser there is a large truck convoy riding on the beltway of Winnipeg between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. We adjust our travel plans accordingly.
We made our way to the airport hotel and checked in. We had dinner with our travel group. There were ten other people besides ourselves. Six people were from Australia. Two couples were from Tasmania and another couple from Adelaide. Three more people were from Singapore and a lady from Ontario rounded out the group.
