While Lee Duquette drove from
Terrace Bay and Rainbow Falls to Nipigon, Karen Duquette took a few
photos through the windshield of their moving RV just because the scenery
was so beautiful. |

Below: Nipigon is located
90 kilometers east of Thunder Bay, at the Crossroads of Canada, where
Highways 11 and 17 meet. The Nipigon River Bridge is the only link joining
east and west on the Trans-Canada Highway. Nipigon Marina is located
at the most northerly point on Nipigon Bay. A well-marked channel leads
to a harbor with a marina that can accommodate vessels of all sizes. |

Below: Nipigon is well known
for the world's largest speckled trout, caught in the Nipigon River
just below Rabbit Falls in July of 1916. Dr. Cook reeled in the big
one, 14 pounds 8 ounces - 31 inches long and 18 inches around. Guess
that inspired this big fish at the Nipigon Welcome Center to bite Lee
Duquette's arm, especially since he was foolish enough to stick his
arm in the mouth of a big fish. |

Below: The Nipigon Welcome
Center suggested that the two RV Gypsies drive through Red Rock, so
Lee Duquette did. But the only thing they saw there of interest was
the welcome sign. Many stores were permanently closed in Red Rock. |
