North Bay to Thunder Bay

Sunday morning we left intending to drive for 6 hours and tie up for the evening but we took the northern route 11 and there is not many RV parks and the provincial parks we could of stopped for the evening but there were too isolated . The scenery was absolutely spectactular and to say Ontario is vast is putting it mildly. I had no concept of its size especially the northern part. Wow, We drove stopped in Temagami for gas and the picture with the plane was taken there. Some of the towns were Englehart(our relatives), Cockrane, Kapuskasing, Longlac, Geraldton, Nipigon and Thunder bay. When we arrived in Kapuskasing, we thought we would stop for the night but no luck with RV parks so decided to continue on, thank goodness we got gas because we went 220 km with no towns, nothing but the wilderness, did see a black bear on the side of the road but no picture did not stop, helped a couple of university students returning to Thunder Bay as car broke down, the guys stayed with the car and we took the young lady to Longlac to get help. She was getting a hold of her father....We only put $40 gas in the truck as it was expensive and the gas attendent told us lots of tiny villages so we would have no issue....Well!!! as we continuted there was some homes but no gas stations and we realized by the GPS we had 46 miles to go and only 96 miles in gas left and weren't sure we would make it with the hills...That was stressful and the alarm came on when we were 3 km from Nipigon but luckly the gas tank coughed into the station and we topped it off, still no RV so ended up in Thunder Bay at a Walmart 10pm at night and we were totally exhausted....Lesson learned fill tank when you need gas, no exceptions!!!!
