Our first stop today was Wawa, home of the Giant Goose! Thrills are few and far between, out here. And our next stop was White River, the birthplace of the original Winnie the Pooh! A Canadian soldier in 1914 bought a bear cub here, which became his unit's mascot, and was named after his hometown of Winnipeg. He gave the cub to London Zoo, where the little bear charmed the young Christopher Robin Milne, whose grandfather immortalized Winne in his books.
We had a picnic lunch in White River, also famous for being the Coldest place in Canada. It was pretty chilly here today. We drove towards Pukaskwa Park, on the shores of Lake Superior. Just before reaching the campsite we saw a bear on the roadside, causing great excitement in our car. He was a smallish black bear, possibly scavenging in the municipal rubbish dump, though he looked quite healthy.
The campsite was a long way from the bear, and was lovely, with rabbits and small scampering creatures. After dinner we had coffee on the beach, watching a magnificent sunset, before turning in for a good night's sleep.
