This is Rabbit Blanket Lake and our skies have been cloudy most days. Yesterday and last night it really poured for a while.
I didn’t realize how much it had rained until I tried to put a route in Apple Maps for another provincial park just north of here and Highway 17 showed up as closed. Closed?! We’re supposed to leave tomorrow and Matey has a vet appointment in the next town, Wawa.
A guy walking by with his dog told Bud he had just driven in from Wawa. We walked up and asked at the campground office. The young woman there said the road was open to the north, but closed beyond the park office, about three miles south of us. Right now it would take almost 5 hours to make the two hour trip we made coming here. There aren’t a lot of roads through here.
Anyway, since the road was open we drove north to find the vet’s office we have to stop at tomorrow. We wanted to make sure there was room to park the trailer, as we’ll be towing it. There is. On the way we stopped at High Falls on Magpie River. The road back wasn’t great and was a bit flooded, but nothing too bad.
The falls were pretty impressive.
Evidently all the rain we’ve had has transformed the falls to its dangerous self.
Besides making the falls roar…
the rain cleared the air and made the cliff at Old Woman Bay all the more dramatic. But I will welcome the sun when it returns.
On the Roam Again
