The two RV Gypsies
at Thunder Bay Lookout
in Ontario, Canada
June 27, 2013

Thunder Bay is the largest urban centre in Northwestern Ontario. The city lies at the Canadian Lakehead on Lake Superior and is strategically situated at the geographical centre (east-west) of Canada. As a regional centre 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 the two RV Gypsies will not forget. It was a long gravel road, not well maintained but it was worth the trip. The final part of the road was a rock surface and VERY bumpy. The two RV Gypsies parked their car and walked a short distance to the lookout which was just breathtaking. They stood on top of a cliff; a deck and steelwork that allowed them to stand over the cliff high above ground to enjoy spectacular views over Lake Superior. It was 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 on this trip.
