At the Train Station

Some interesting travelers have come through the train station recently. Yesterday we had a couple traveling from Iowa City. About two weeks ago they decided to get up and go on vacation. With no real set plans they left Iowa City and traveled up north and ended up at the Canadian border and decided to cross it. For both of them this was their first time in Canada. They think it is a very beautiful place with lots of lakes (something they are not used to). They traveled to Montreal, Ottawa and then ended up in Sudbury. When they came to us they said they have no real plans as to where they are going, nor do they care. They were only staying in Sudbury for the day and then they were off to find a campground to stay for the night. We mentioned visiting Dynamic Earth or Science North and told them about a couple campground around the area to stay at for the night. I found this couple very interesting. I think it is amazing to just randomly decide to travel with no idea where you want to go and just end up in different places. They were able to see and experience so many new and different places. They had no intention to come to Canada, but then when they reached the border they thought, why not? After talking to them about their travels, it made me realize one day I wouldn't mind doing something like that. One day decide to travel with no real destination in mind, just hop in the car and go. The couple has been traveling around for about a week and a half and are still on their journey heading in the direction of home, but still making stops along the way.

You can tell its summer because a lot of people are coming into the station asking about nearby campgrounds. What better way to enjoy the summer than camping with friends and family! Sudbury and its surrounding area has a couple great campgrounds and provincial parks for people to enjoy.
