Sault Ste. Marie to Wawa, ON

It wasn’t quite as cold this morning when we got up (41ºF which is 5ºC) as yesterday morning. We left Glenview Campground this morning about 10:00 and headed north on Trans Canada Highway 17.

About 11:00 we stopped at Batchawana Bay Provincial Park. It is a day use park on the shores of Lake Superior. We found a picnic table right on the bay and decided that this was a great place to have lunch. Symphony and I made lunch and we carried it out to the picnic table. I doubt we could have found a better place to have lunch - sometimes spur of the moment stops turn out to be the best ones!

After lunch we continued north on TC-17 to Wawa, Ontario. After traveling 133 miles from Glenview Campground in Sault Ste Marie, we arrived at Wawa RV Resort & Campground around 2 p.m.


We are in site #6 and have water and electric (30 amp) hookups. We are staying here with a Good Sam discount, so it is $28.75 CAD ($26.05 US) a day. Mike  had to use bungee cords to hold the electric cord in the socket, since the socket was installed upside down..

Site #6 is a back-in gravel site with grass and it is fairly level; however there isn't enough room to put our awning out because of the trees next to us. Al and Symphony are next to us in site #5. Even though we're in a back-in site, we've driven the RV forward in the site so our door faces Al and Symphony's door - much easier for visiting back and forth.

We have wifi here, but I'm not able to pick up the signal. Symphony can pick up the wifi signal in their RV - I think it's because of the way their RV is facing. There is a small building at the entrance with a public phone and a desk with chairs and we are able to pick up the wifi signal there. We have no Verizon cell phone service here, fortunately we have a phone card.

 We had light rain this afternoon and our high for the day was 55º (13ºC).
