In the land of sleeping giants

The Sleeping Giant

  Made it to Thunder Bay after an always grueling and often eventful 28 hour bus trip. I...could have taken a three hour flight but I had the vague adventurous notion of 'seeing that part of the country.'  Well now I've done it, so I suppose I don't ever have to again. PS I lost my sausage in Ottawa.
  Went for a hike up Mt. Mckay and got a good look at the Sleeping Giant's feet where I'll be staying until the frost arrives. Saw my first ever Black Bear up there, a lanky youngster. Badass! Also a tree frog, a juvenile Bald Eagle, a female Peregrine, some Juncos and White-throated Sparrows, and a Magnolia Warbler. I wonder if they all breed locally? Anyhoo, I'm knackered. This may be my last post for a while, but I'm right there, sleeping on the sleeping giant's pinky toe.
