In this episode, the three of us say goodbye to our home in St. Catharines, Ontario, pack up our car and start heading north. We adventure to an abandoned prison just outside of Sudbury and camp with hundreds of bloodsucking friends in the parking lot of a Canadian Tire.
We're finally leaving! The day has come. It is Friday, July 1st, Canada Day. This is our last morning in our home.
We packed up our car which we will be living in for a few months. We'll just be camping along the way,
going to see a bunch of lovely places and ultimately making it to Vancouver Island where we'll be living for a little while once we get there.
We have a calendar on our fridge and we've just been counting down the days, I think since January, right?
We did a road trip last summer and we knew that we wanted to come back, have a life out there,
so we've just kind of been working away, saving up and planning and today's the day.
We are very excited to get out there and start our journey so we will see you out there.
For any reason, in return I will receive access to buy as a prisoner in Burwash, Ontario.
I, Alayna and Kyle fully understand and agree to the above terms. Signed and sending off.
Someone's a little hot. You good bud? Wrong way. Come on Diesel, let's go this way.
I don't know if you can hear the black flies in the microphone but they're horrendous.
Awful. So it's not too much further, another kilometer, half a kilometer.
There's an abandoned prison that you can hike to just outside of Sudbury.
It's about a four kilometer path from a little parking lot off the main Trans-Canada Highway.
You can almost see it just up in the distance there. Looks pretty sweet so we're going to check that out.
Let's do it.
It looks like there's something in there. Yeah. I was back there, all I saw was the shadow and I was like oh there's an animal in there.
She looks like a wild dog too.
Nice match.
Cafeteria.
Wonder if the food was good.
It's probably a cafeteria.
The view is nice.
Someone tried to escape on their Razor 8000. No such luck. Did you have fun in prison?
I wanted to. I'll be good.
We're so close.
This is us escaping prison.
Holy.
It's hot today.
Diesel's a trooper.
There we go buddy.
We did it.
What's up babe?
A lot of fish right here.
That's actually really nice.
Woohoo.
They're in the cooler.
Here's to you.
Yeah.
Very yummy.
Somebody wants it.
So good.
I'm watching you eat snacks.
Guys are already scratching up a storm.
Diesel you good bud?
You okay?
Full of bugs.
Alright we're back in the safety of the car.
But like I was saying,
there's that prison we went and hiked to
and the town that used to be there
is no longer.
I guess they got rid of it a long time ago.
But there's a lot of cool abandoned
spots in this little area
just off the main highway.
We just keep going down these little roads to explore a little bit.
We still got lots of daylight left.
I think we're just going to go find a spot to sleep for the night.
Maybe make some dinner somewhere.
But other than that, we're just going to keep driving.
Alright I think we found home for the night.
What do you think babe?
Yeah. Abandoned town.
Abandoned prison.
Now an abandoned bus.
Wow.
I wonder if there's someone living in there.
That's terrifying.
Fuck these bugs.
Classy.
Way to do it.
Okay.
We made it to Sudbury.
We found a nice
Canadian Tire parking lot to sleep in.
It's quite lovely.
Diesel's licking his dirty paws
from being in mud puddles all afternoon.
Now we're
full of Tim Horns and we're tired.
We were going to make a nice
steak dinner tonight but
by the time we settled
we were a bit tired from our day so
just got some Tim's
so we'll make our nice dinner
tomorrow night.
Getting our hiking legs back so
we're beat from a 10km
hike.
We'll get there.
First night on the road.
Success.
Good night.
Well good morning.
Coming out?
Yeah.
Good boy.
How are you feeling today?
Refreshed. Ready for day two.
Bugs aren't biting anymore.
It's a nice little view
from the back of the car.
And the sound
of trains and people burning
through the parking lot all night.
Where'd Diesel go?
What are you smelling buddy?
I noticed that yesterday I had a great bird song.
I went to go look at the turtle.
I like
almost like slid.
Yeah.
The tread was just awesome.
You can get the hiking frogs
that have a little bit more tread on them
apparently.
Diesel
what are you doing bud?
He's like I really want that pizza dip.
I don't think so.
Come here baby.
No ranch dressing for you.
Did you?
There was a mosquito
massacre
in the car last night.
We didn't realize when we were
jumping in how many were coming
in the car with us.
There was just
blood stains all over the roof.
I don't even know.
Um.
Okay.
Um.
What should we say?
You're saying a lot right now.
Just let it keep rolling.
How's my hair look?
We'll get better at this as time goes on
I promise.
It looks great.
I'm glad you shaved.
Where are you going?
We're going camping.
Stick around for all the adventures we will be getting up to.
That's stupid.
I don't know why I keep saying that.
