Soon after accepting a post with the Red Lake Family Health Team, mom, dad, and I got planning a road trip to northern Ontario. Never before I or anyone from my family has been as far north in the province, so our imaginations were running wild when discussing what we were expecting to see on this journey. Moose, beavers, and northern lights were the top three hopes to capture with photography. Snow and cold was expected during our northern drive, so when we were experiencing sunny and warm conditions it made us smile from ear to ear.

After a 13 hour drive from Guelph, we stopped for a sleep in Wawa, Ontario.
We saw 2 deers just outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario, but still no moose.
Kakabeka Falls, Ontario
...and after approximately 28 hours of driving, we arrived to Red Lake, Ontario

The Giant Colon - March is colon cancer awareness month !!!
During our journey, as Murphy's law suggests, we did not see moose nor beavers. But the northern lights did come out for us the last night mom and dad stayed with me, as they were planning to drive home the very next day. One lucky night, only a 30 minute show. What a spectacular nature show!
Mom and Dad hit the road nice and early on Wednesday morning. The house, where I am staying currently, became silent and empty. And it stayed this way for an entire week. Next week I start work, and looking forward to meeting the staff at RLFHT.
Cheers for now,
R :-)
