gone and back again

So, I went on my road trip as planned. I left last Wednesday and came back on Sunday.

It wasn’t an uneventful visit. I talked with my Auntie. I’m not quite ready to share what I’ve learned though, as I think I’m still trying to understand a lot of it.

The weather on Wednesday would have to be, without a doubt, the worst October weather ever. I had high winds, torrential rain (that washed out the highway behind me) and even SNOW!!

Like seriously?!?!

But I made it! The drive back on Sunday was pretty much the same, with maybe a little bit of sunshine in the mix.

Here are some pics of the adventure!

Terry Fox Monument

The Sleeping Giant–it is a formation which resembles a giant lying on its back. One Ojibway legend identifies the giant as Nanabijou, who was turned to stone when the secret location of a rich silver mine was disclosed to white men.

Weather aside–the drive was definitely the best part of the trip. Part of me wishes I was still on that highway.
