After a hardy breakfast at Mc’s we headed east in clear conditions…..only down side at 7:30 am and for an hour or so is the Sun. Even with sun glasses it is difficult to see. Hwy 17 through Kapuskasing and a number of smaller towns, we took a cut off at 655 to Timmins. Next 101E to 144S with a gas stopping Timmins and the next at the cut from 144 and the Elk Lake Road. Here, we stopped for a light lunch then on to Elk Lake……we are currently in a 2 star cabin after pricing a 5 Star which was $99.00 each for 36.00 each…..
Lunch Break
This is the new and future look of SERVICE CENTRES……upon entering Elk Lake we where low on fuel. This the only station in 60 k. What do we do…no place for a credit card,,,no attendant….finally I noticed a speaker which was next to all 4 pumps…..pushed button asked and a girl said how may I help you….need fuel I said…reply go a few steps to the door on your left and follow the instructions on a machine mounted on the wall after inserting a credit card to pre pay,,,,,ok…..Frank goes 1st….last question is a 3 page information sheet to qualify you as a GAS Attendant….Rick says skip it and Frank leaves, only to return as he learns he has not qualified as A GAS ATTENDANT. Yup you have to agree that you have read and understand the rules and gas is poured. After everyone has filled I push the button again to talk to the nice voice wandering what part of the Rig she is hiding in….asking just curious, where might you be…reply I am in Saskatchewan….O…then she says have a nice evening….Looking up I see a camera starring at me…SMALL WORLD BECOMING SO TECHY AND COMPLICATED>
Our cabin for the night….
Actually a nice spot….cabin and camping spot…..
