Finlayson Point PP to Ivanhoe Lake PP, day 2

 Monday 21st June we set off from Findlayson Point PP in the rain and got as far as Temiskaming Shores to get more 'must have' trailer accessories from Canadian Tire. We were pleased that when we came out of CT it had stopped raining although unfortunately the rain soon started again and was heavier than previously. We passed a gas station named 'Corner Gas' but not the same gas station as it's more famous namesake from the TV series. The rain continued pretty hard at times and visibility was not helped by the spray coming from the passing truckers in their big rigs.

Passing a huge bison model (sorry going too fast or a picture), we stopped for lunch at Tim's (Horton's) in Timmins, where else?

Arrived at Ivanhoe Lake provincial park at 3.15pm. where the rain had stopped but it was cold at only 5C so tonight it would be the turn of the furnace to keep us comfortable after using the A/C last night. We discovered that some bedding had become wet as the driving rain had entered the trailer through the forward facing window. Fortunately the camp ground had a laundromat so we were able to dry the few things in the dryer. Another item we need to add to a shopping list - caulk for the window 😣

Much had been made of the campgrounds being fully booked right through the summer but we were surprised at how quiet they actually were. The camp ground was less than 1/3 full with people staying although a lot of sites were occupied by trailers that were obviously parked there for the season but the actual campers look like they only turn up on weekends or in school vacations.

We did get to talk to one camper who was from Orleans and he gave us the name of the location he uses in Cumberland for trailer storage and recommended it to us but urged us not to delay booking a storage site as the spaces fill quickly.

Later that evening the sun came out and although the next morning it was still chilly but at least the sun was shining 🌞 for the next travel leg....
