The drive from Thunder Bay to Fort Frances was not that long. We stayed at a park called Pither's Point Park. It is a municipal park ran on the honour system.
They did not have many 50 amp sites and what they did have were hogged by seasonal campers. They did not seem to be around. Once we got hooked up we went for a drive into town. Not a huge place. The paper mill had been closed about 4 years ago. It is a border town with International Falls, Minnesota.
When we were driving around touring Al remembered an OPP from Kincardine had transferred to Fort Frances years ago. We follow a cruiser into the OPP station parking and out of the car came Paul Davis. Paul used to organize goalies for the OPP hockey Wednesday morning's and that is how Al got to know him. They had a big catch up on what was going on in Kincardine. Paul is retiring in October and is wanting to tour Kincardine to have a chat with those that he worked with.
After that we headed back to the camp. Josh Colling and his girlfriend Chandra were coming for supper as soon as Josh was done working. We had a good visit with them.
We will likely not stay at this campground again. It had to be every hour a train went bye. We were about 4 sites away from the tracks. So not a good night sleep.
