Day 1 - Cochrane to random spot after the watershed. \240

We left Cochrane on Tuesday after work, around 5. \240Plan was to find a sidedoad after the watershed to camp out.

Jackson had deciddd to travel the next day with Mom and Dad so it was a quiet ride with just us, Tessa and the dog.

We planned to have dinner at Montanas on the way through Timmins. \240Once there, the line up was out the door! \240Weird for a Tuesday! \240So we decided to go to Siva’s.

Amazing change of plans. \240The food was great and the service was super fast and the price was cheap! \240Would totally recommend to anyone

We headed back on the road to our unknown destination…

Stopped for gas at the Watershed 176.9 for a total of 133.45.

Now to find a spot! \240It was getting dark! \240Pulled into a few side roads only to pull back out as there were to hilly, grown in our narrow. \240Hard to find a side road in the dark! \240And Google maps wasn’t working great as we had crappy signal.

Finally found one that we ventured down! \240Drove for a bit until we found a spot but had to turn the camper around first. \240Kept driving down the road until we could finally turn.

Perfect spot with a huge Lone JackPine across from us. \240Had a little fire then went to bed for the nogjt

Day 2 - watershed side road to Sudbury

We had an appointment at Pallidino for our trailer recall at 1 so we got up slowly (we =I). After a night if weird dreams and not much sleep, I was tired!

We left around 11:00 \240to get to Sudbury before our appointment. \240After a wrong turn (Darn new bypasses!) we dropped it off and decided to do some shopping.

We brought Tessa to her first Toys R us. \240She loved it! \240She surprised us by picking out only 2 things, Operation and a surprise ball.

We then went to find a brewery/lunch spot. \240We needed up at Aisle Nine gourmet burgers. \240 Another amazing meal! \240The service was super friendly and quick. \240We ordered the nachos and a specialty poutine that we shared. \240Brisket on the nachos was smoked that morning!

Tessa even got to sit at the bar and played Mario Cart with the owner while we continued our meal outside!

Did some Ramako shopping then back to pick up the trailer for our overnight at Walmart. \240Mom and Dad left cochrane with Jackson at 11 and met us at the Walmart (after another wrong turn🤦‍♀️)

The Girard’s \240popped in right after us. \240After relaxing a little we did our last minute shopping and had a little visit from Steph.

Day 3 - Sudbury to Batman’s

We left Sudbury at 11:00 with a quick pit stop at the LC to the BO. \240Got our weeks worth of craft beers and coolers, wine and spirits (to the small tune of 320$ 😳)

On thé road again, this time to our final destination. \240Manitoulin Island, Batman’s campground and cottages. \240Same place we stayed at last year. \240This time, we have a beach site which is so nice!

Quick pit stop at Manitoulin Brewery in Little Current and the Brewgers some lunch.

Set up while the kids explored. Then after much begging, off to the beach we went.

Tessa made a few friends already!

Jackson did some fishing off the dock and caught a few small bass.

Had a quick supper and fire with the parents. \240Some great laughs too!

Day 4 - Batman’s

Spent the day at the beach!

Gore Bay - misery Bay

Day 6 - Batman’s

Another beach day!

Dan and Jackson ran to town while Tessa dna I stayed back. \240Went for a walk then stayed at the beach all afternoon!
