First Trip in Winnie - Dec 2019

. 4 days

Pelee Island, the most southern part of Canada, had been on Hendrika’s bucket list for a long time and the last ferry of the season was upon us. So, off we went on our inaugural trip.

We got a quick glimpse at Point Pelee National Park, in its somber colours of early winter, and settled into the Leamington Walmart parking lot to wrestle with the unfamiliar van appliances and our first night in Winnie. In the morning we caught the ferry to Pelee Island.

We explored the island and parked right by a beach for our first nature boondocking night where we enjoyed the sound of the wind in the trees and the waves on the sand, the propane heater keeping the cabin warm and the beach just outside the door.

Then it was off to The Pinery Provincial Park before returning home with our first trip under our belts.
