Moosecapades

Otherwise titled 'The Ontario Rant'
Don't get me wrong, it is beautiful.  Rolling farmland, lovely blue lakes dotted with cabins and mythical wildlife. Large rivers, waterfalls, rocky outcrops, which I have been informed is the Canadian Shield. Lots of outdoor activities to offer. Very pretty between Sault Ste Marie and Sudbury.
But
1500 kilometres of endless bush
I am going to lose my mind.  
Mile after mile of ENDLESS bush
I wouldn't call it a forest, just BUSH
1500 km of monotonous endless BUSH
I'm about ready to shoot myself if I don't see something else
Stupid bush
Stupid Ontario
We are dying for some kind of new landscape
Starting to go stupid going through western Ontario. Everytime I see the sign Adopt a Highway, I think 'Ride a Cowboy'  We are forgetting things, forgetting where we are.  Repeating ourselves. duh, what did you say? What was that?
We get excited to see a crow on the side of the road, not to mention what happens when we see a bald eagle.
OMG are we there yet?
AND
There are no meese in moose country. We saw a sign something like 'Get your bear and moose export permits here', so we figure that is what happened to them all.  Exported out of Ontario.
All the promises we saw. All those moose warning signs every kilometre or so, all the souvenirs we saw, all promising that you too will see a moose. You too will reach nirvana. Just one big disappointment.
Not that I'm bitter or anything....
Give me the prairies any day 
Will be a long time before I drive through Western Ontario again. 

All this makes me think of Hoppy the deer.
