Baie des Ha! Ha!

Had a couple big days looking around the Lac Saint Jean-Saguenay region. It is more beautiful than I thought. I felt like there was a carrot in front of my nose leading me further east the whole way.  The lake, the rivers in the region have…

Bring your Bike not Suits to Ottawa

A little time in Ottawa and I am leaving with a whole new impression. It is a city loaded with cool heritage architecture and one that is filled with activity and adventure destination. I was expecting suits and ties, snobbery and political…
