Going west








Going east




Fort Francis and the CN Rail
















Lake of the Woods
















Left Thunder Bay and it was raining. The intention was to drive to Thunder Bay. decided to follow Highway 11 rather than 17 to Kenora. It is the less traveled route and there was little traffic on the Highway. Almost no trucks, which made the drive quite pleasant. Stopped in Quetico for lunch. The park was closed for the season but there were some picnic tables available.

Unlike Highway 17 where the road is cut through Jackpine, Highway 11 cuts through lots of lakes and as we approached Fort Francis, we were beside Lake of the Woods. Didn't realize that Fort Francis was a border crossing and we considered crossing and going through to Manitoba through the US. However we continued on 11 to Kenora which was a very pretty drive.
