A Day Trip to Kenora, Ontario

Mr. Bilby has been out and about and his most recent blog post seems to have disappeared into the ether that is the internet so we shall try and recreate the missing post.  We had a lovely road trip to Kenora, Ontario and we have lots of photos to share.  Our first stop was at the border where we were welcomed with a lovely sign to Ontario:


Sadly the travel information area that used to be the main reason for stopping here has closed and it looks like it has been closed for sometime.   Instead travellers are directed to the harbour front in Kenora for travel information.  Thankfully the facilities were still in operation and being looked after, so that those in the traveling party who had their legs crossed could get some relief.


Travel information was limited to a very large map of Ontario but it made for some interesting reading.  It was hard to drag me away from it:



The scenery in Northern Ontario is quite magnificent and we were graced with many trees and lakes as we drove.

We had a lovely day in Kenora we parked downtown and browsed the many shops offering all kinds of travel momentos, cottage knick knacks, books and clothing.  We had lunch at a picnic table in the harbour area.  Our last stop was for groceries to take back to the cottage and on the way out of town we made a point of visiting Husky the Muskie (https://www.ontariotravel.net/en/listing/Husky-the-Muskie/201305):
