We left Sudbury this morning just after a light rain.  The roads were a little wet and our visors misted up, but the temperature was bearable at 9 degrees Celsius.  Only the tips of our fingers froze a little but it warmed up to 12 degrees Celsisus and stayed steady at that temperature for quite awhile.  I think the fact that we were so close to home kept us going, despite the chilly temperature.

Our goal was home as quickly as possible, so our only stops were for gas in North Bay and gas and  lunch in Cobden.  The kilometers just seemed to fly by but we also got to enjoy the beautiful fall colours.  The Ottawa Valley must have gotten more frost then Northern Ontario, because the fall colours were more prevalent.

Before we knew it we were at our March Road exit and driving that last stretch to home.  We got behind a slow-poke driver (possibly from Oregon?), but maybe that prevented us from getting a speeding ticket from the cop at the Carp Road intersection.  That would have been great – 13,000 KM under our belts and a speeding ticket within 5 KM of home.

And then we were home.  Ahhhh . . . what more can I say!  We had an amazing trip but home is where our hearts are, for sure.  Now, we need to start planning for next year . . .
