North Ontario Road Trip day 6 – returning south, into even crazier weather.

North Ontario Road Trip day 6 – returning south, into even crazier weather.

Day 5 we stayed in Hearst all day, but didn’t really do much. I think it was more about spending a day off the road and giving the car (Tito) a break! Day 6 we left Hearst heading east and south trough Kapuskasing,

Iroquois Falls, Timmins and then making a massive loop back to Wawa for the night, where the skies were incredibly clear.

To that point in our trip, it had snowed, wet snowed and fluffy-but-it-melts-when-it-lands snowed but once in Timmins it began to capital S. Snow.

Shortly, visibility was nil.

It was gorgeous…an unexpected treat.

But you can bet this was more of a concern now.

Tito’s gotten quite good at the late night, long haul, strange highway, bad weather, pitch black, moose threatened highway drives ;) On the homeward haul today!
