Jimmy Vee's Drives into the Wilderness

Canadian solo wilderness trips in a Golf TDI. Over the years this blog profiled trips to the furthermost spot one could drive in Canada to Inuvik NWT a 7,000km one way drive from Toronto. Later they opened a new road adding another 200km further to Tuktoyaktuk, so i went again. Since the USA Border closure has been extended to at least August 21st 2021 I am staying close to home so will drive around Ontario. Yes driving the same TDI is now has 660,000 kms

Day 1 July 9th 2016

I saw my first bear today crossing the Trans-Canada Hwy just 100km north of Sault Ste. Marie. It was soaking wet, both sides of traffic stopped and after a few minutes it decided it was safe to cross. No pic as I just not ready to see something like so early in my trip..

Drove through Wawa, did not take pic of Canada Goose but noticed there 5 other gooses in town.

Mining display at Hemlo Gold field. This is the gold found while building the highway in the 1980's.

Aquasabon River Gorge

Pulled off about 140 short of Rainy River, slept under some power lines. There was a sign for a better spot but I was done as far was driving was.

Drove 1480km today (932 mile) will cross into USA at Rainy River in about 2 hours.
