NotSoObvious Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 We are thinking of going from Thunder Bay to Sudbury to Montreal and then into Maine. Where should we camp for a few days along the way? Is there something along the way we shouldn't miss? Time isn't really a problem, but we are trying not to spend a ton of money and we will have a dog, so a day at a museum is out. What is the weather like up there in late August/early September? (Yes, I can google, but I like hearing it from the locals. :) ) THANKS!

Parrothead Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 They can get Timmy's in Maine. Well, depending on what part of Maine reenter. There are some scary places that don't have a Timmy's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I can tell you northern Maine in late August/early September can be cool. If you look carefully you can see leaves in the process of changing color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenangelcat Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Sleeping Giant or Kakabeka Falls in Thunder Bay for camping. There's a cool general store in Wawa I always stop into on the way through. If I was going to Sudbury I would stop in at Science North. I remember that being really cool when I was a kid. Then I'd stop in Ottawa and never leave.

elfgivas Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 here's something my brother did and loved: In Cochrane Ontario you can swim with Polar Bears Summer, 2012 - The Polar Bear Habitat & Heritage Village has a new polar bear named Ganuk for the 2012 season. Cochrane, Ontario - Now, here's an experience that will astound your friends back home. At the Polar Bear Habitat and Heritage Village in Cochrane Ontario it has been possible for visitors to ' swim with their polar bears.' I recorded this video with Nanook, a 30 year-old polar bear, who unfortunately has since passed away. The new addition to the Habitat that's in residence this summer is a young bear named Ganuk and the swim opportunity is once again available. More details about him are available at their website. There's a wading pool beside the polar bear pool and while you are in it you are separated from the great white giants by a thick protective glass divider. Both children and adults can try it.The Habitat is open year-round, but the 'polar bear swim' is only available in the summer. Cochrane is also the birthplace of Tim Horton the hockey player who launched Canada's incredibly popular coffee / doughnut chain. The town is the departure point for the 300-kilometre (186-mile) Polar Bear Express rail journey, to Moosenee - at the edge of the arctic, near James Bay.
