The Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers
at Thunder Bay Lookout
in Ontario, Canada

Thunder Bay Lookout sign

Thunder Bay is the largest urban center in Northwestern Ontario. The city lies at the Canadian Lakehead on Lake Superior and is strategically situated at the geographical center (east-west) of Canada. As a regional center for industry, shopping, services, recreation and educational opportunities, the city has transportation services by both major Canadian railway systems as well as highway connections west to Winnipeg, east to Sault Ste. Marie and Toronto, and south to Minneapolis and Chicago.

 

The drive to Thunder Bay Lookout was an experience not to be forgotten by the two RV Gypsies because they had to drive on a long gravel road that was not well maintained. The final part of the road was a rock surface and VERY bumpy. The two RV Gypsies parked their truck and walked a short distance to the lookout which was quite breathtaking. They stood on top of a cliff; a deck and steelwork that allowed them to stand over the cliff high above ground and enjoy spectacular views over Lake Superior. It's not only the view, the silence was awesome too. And luckily, the two RV Gypsies had the area all to themselves, as they did with many places they have been to this trip.
