Anicinabe RV Park

We moved over to site 8 this afternoon after the previous occupants left. Al & Symphony are on site 9. The hookups are the same as the ones on site 37 - 30 amp electric and water. Even though we are on the other side of the campground, we are still able to pick up the wifi signal.

We called American Home Base to have our mail sent to General Delivery at Pembina, North Dakota.

Anicinabe is from the Ojibway language and roughly mean "the People". The area here at Lake of the Woods has always been a gathering place for the aboriginal people.

We spent the day taking it easy and checking out the campground and taking photos. The RV park is on the Lake of the Woods - which is the second largest freshwater lake in Ontario.

One of the things we have seen along the highway on our trip through Ontario has been the inuksuit (plural for "inukshuk" - which means "in the likeness of a human"). It has been hard to take a photo of them when we're going along the highway. Some have only been a few stones stacked up and some are in the shape of a human. We finally got a great photo of an inukshuk!

From Ontario

The inukshuk were made in different forms to serve different messages - as navigation or directional aids, to mark a place of respect or memorial for a beloved person, or to indicate migration routes or places where fish can be found. They are made of unworked stones that are used by the Inuit for communication and survival.
