September 8 to September 20, 2026 · Beaverlodge, Grande Prairie, Saskatoon, Sudbury, Port Colborne

Bridge with white arch and COME text spans across highway ahead.

Mark got a little beaver in Beaverlodge, and Alberta was beautiful in the fall. We saw cows at Nakota Crossing and visited West Edmonton Mall. The drive to Saskatoon was gorgeous. We ate at TOT Cafe, where everything was fire and delicious.

Then Mark drove 1,000 kilometres in one day heading home. We stopped for coffee in Kenora, then got late-night cheese sticks at Ducky’s Diner that were “unreal.” The staff were awesome. In Blind River: “lol this dog with a helmet and glasses on!”

We spotted a fish in Sudbury. Then we made it home to Port Colborne.

“Mammie snuggles are the best.” We met Rick and Derek from True North Transparency around town. At Pickadilly Books n Coffee, “the coffee was delicious, the treats were fresh n yummy, the atmosphere was warm n cozy and the staff were great.”
