WATER falls in Canada

We have spent since leaving Buffalo 4 rainy days-water does fall- in Canada at Sturgeon Bay, Grundy Lake and now Chutes.  We didn't get to kayak because of the rain, but did manage to ride bikes and take a few short hikes.
The photos on the blogg before this one are from Chutes Provincial Park.
Chutes is named from the logging chutes built to move logs around the dramatic waterfalls, seeing this power of Nature's just causes amazement. Chutes is near a little whistle stop town called Massey.  Back in 1800s it was jumping...a farming, logging and copper mining community.  The railroad had a stop here to drop off loggers who then had to walk as much as 62 miles to get to their camps.

(I am trying to remember how to include the photos from my phone as I write the blogg but can't remember how to do it...give me time.)
If you ever camp in this part of  Ontario, Canada we would now after making the trip 2x recommend NEYS, Grundy Lake and now Chutes...but bring your mosquito nets.  We spend a lot of time slapping at them.  I can't imagine how the loggers survived...I guess you do what you have to do.
We head for Michigan, Hiawatha National forest along the shores of Superior.  No electricity so probably no blogging.  The computers run out of juice pretty quickly.  Check back in a week.
