June 21, 20023 – Day 1

Up until yesterday we had not even decided to start off west or north. We would head west if we could meet our friends in Wisconsin otherwise we considered head north and pass about all of the Great Lakes. We checked with our friends and then were not available when we would be passing through so on the Summer Solstice. We head towards the Thousand Islands Bridge and border crossing. We pull up to the immigration officer and he starts in with “Where are you heading?” I respond with, “Alaska”

He states, “You do know this is Canada, not Alaska.” It continued from there. It was maybe 5 minutes and we were through. We meandered west and north stopping for the night in Pembroke, Ontario.
