June 5: We headed for Thunder Bay. Similar to the previous day, the scenery was many lakes on ground that was flat to slightly hilly and open or partly wooded with mostly small (pulpwood sized) treess whose size is likely limited by the stony surface below. Underlying the surface was a stony layer visible whereever the road bed was cut into the earth to yield stone banks along the side(s). Since leaving Regina day before yeserday, population is sparce. but Thunder Bay population exceeds 100,000!
West of Thunder is Kakabeka falls, photo op of the day, so we stopped. This very high-flow falls lies below at a quarter mile of rapids and then drops over a cliff for 120 feet with more rapids down stream. Like a small Niagra but with greater water flow. Besides awesome, I would also be relaxing, but we were in a bit of hurry.
