Since The two RV Gypsies were in International Falls,
Minnesota which is near the border of Canada, they decided to take a few
hours and drive into Ontario, Canada just because they could. |

Below: Several buildings had nice murals on them, so Karen
Duquette quickly snapped a few photos while driving by them. |

Below: The two RV Gypsies had not done any research on
the area before driving there, and they did not know where to go or what
to do, so they just drove a bit and came across Nestor Falls. |

Situated on the eastern shore of Lake of the Woods on
Sabaskong Bay, Nestor Falls is a beautiful resort community and a jumping
off point for great fishing, hunting and outdoor adventures. The Nestor
Falls area has a reputation as one of the finest fishing and hunting locations
in North America. The town of Nestor Falls sits in the midst of literally
dozens of lakes. These lakes are teeming with Canada's most sought after
game fish; walleye, small and largemouth bass, lake trout, crappie, northern
pike, muskie and perch. The muskie in these lakes have become a fish of
such grandeur that the Nestor Falls area is known to many as the muskie
capital of the world. |

Below: The two RV Gypsies are not fishermen, but they
enjoyed the beauty of this area. |

Below: On the way back to the border, the two RV Gypsies
took a very short walk on an easy path on Doreal Trail because they were
told that there was a very pretty lake back there and the path did not
look very difficult. |

Not much of a lake as promised, but more like two small ponds. At least
it was an easy walk so it was still a nice day. |

Below:  Karen
Duquette was walking behind Lee Duquette when she saw something brown
come out of the woods and fly right at Lee. As soon as Karen realized
that it was a grouse and that Lee was not in any danger, she turned on
the camera and snapped a few photos. Karen wished she had been more ready
with the camera because then she could have gotten a movie of the attack,
but she did not. Anyway, this was a bit of a different event for them. |

 Below:
Lee Duquette was taken by surprise and he pointed his stick towards the
grouse. The grouse then walked in front of the two RV Gypsies as if to
say "follow me". When they got to the roadside clearing,
the grouse stepped aside, made a funny noise as if to yell at them,
then it ran quickly back into the woods. The two RV Gypsies figure that
it was the mama grouse leading them away from her babies, then she quickly
ran back to her nest.
