Aug 27 Thunder Bay, Ont. Ca. to Hibbing, Mn

A couple of interesting signs we spotted in Canada.
















On the Canadian side of the border we saw a vast amount of gorgeous scenery,including this field of wheat next to a field of corn and towered over by a low lying mountain.





In Ely, Mn. we headed first to the North American Bear Center. It turned out to be a fascinating place. There were three bears in a large wooded enclosure to the back of the building with large windows for viewing the antics of the bears. We watched Lucky playing with a watermellon while Ted and Honey browsed nearby.
The many exhibits and filmclips were wonderfully done.

'Mostly Moose' was where we were able to find our special Christmas ornament to commemorate our family vacation to Minnesota. The ornament is a handsome standing moose with a nest entwined in his antlers and outlined with Christmas lights, - oh, and a Cardinal sitting on his snout.
