North shore of Lake Superior
We are headed off from BC in a couple of days with the goal of getting across the north side of Lake Superior, perhaps as far as Thunder Bay. Any suggestions as to must sees, don't bother, great camp...

Got home yesterday from our Lake Superior trip. We did enjoy dropping down past the Sioux into Michigan then going through the Wisconsin section and up through Minnesota back to THunder Bay. Highlights for us were Rossport PP and a hike from the nearby Rainbow falls campground, Pukaskwa NP and the walks there, watching a Laker traverse the locks at the Sioux, Brimley state park in Michigan and the friendly Michigan couple we met there, Two Harbours in Minnesota as well as Split Rock lighthouse (well worth the admission), the many attractions of Grand Marais (Minnesota), as well as our time in various locations across the prairies. We liked the entire cct around Lake Superior and are very glad we did not simply turn around at the Sioux to head home.
Put 8500 km on the Duramax and it will a be job to get all the bugs off the front of the truck and fifth wheel! We took Hwy 17 East in Ontario and Hwy 11 west. Both were pretty drives and both featured lots of rock and trees (and water) with some nice fall colours.
We were impressed by the Spruce mtn PP in Manitoba and liked the Gordie Howe campground in Saskatoon. We stayed in provincial or state park campgrounds whenever we could. We found the Ontario parks expensive for what you get and were quite disappointed by Pancake Bay PP campground, expensive with power outlets requiring our long extension cord and a very noisy highway right next to us.
We had no problems getting fuel but we always try to run on the top of the tank in any case. Thanks again to those who gave us advice. We did follow much of it and it was good advice.
