Agawa Bay

On the road again…..to Wawa where their mascot big goose welcomed us to town! We unhooked the Saturn and drove to see High Falls and Silver Falls. Six of us can fit if Bill rides in the trunk!! Enjoyed our picnic lunch and then drove on to Agawa Bay.
We are at Agawa Bay Campground – located right on the shore of Lake Superior and nestled in the pine trees - it is gorgeous! Getting the trailers and our motor home into the sites was “kind of tricky” (as Samantha would say.) Thank goodness all the guys are good at maneuvering the rigs but, even Roger was nervous about scraping the sides! We watched the sunset from the beach and decided since it was so difficult getting in and out we would stay a couple of nights.
Another gray, rainy day but we went exploring anyway – afraid if we wait for the sun we won’t see much! Our neighbors said there was a terrible storm last week and the waves that were crashing into the shore were about 10 feet high!
This is a beautiful portion of the coastline. Lovely, isolated coves dot the shoreline and the rocky outcroppings remind us of Maine. We stopped at Katherine’s Cove and Sinclair Cove. Where you can not see the coastline there are hundreds of small pristine lakes and rivers nestled in the trees. We keep looking for a moose munching on the shoreline!
The Sand River flows into lake Superior and the water falls down a beautiful rocky terrain. We hiked up to the top of the first falls but not the entire path.
Roger & I hiked down to see the Obijwa pictographs but, omg! – a treacherous trail and we did not venture out on the cliff to see the 35 drawings! Look at the pictures and you’ll see why!
We’ve enjoyed our morning coffee out on the windswept beach. A few whitecaps today. Montreal Island is directly across from us. We were told the Canadian government established a caribou herd on the island but, about 4 year years ago the bay froze and either wolves got to the island or the caribou left because there are none there now.
On our way to Sault Ste. Marie today after we disentangle the motor home from the trees!
