I managed to pitch my tent and get set up before the rain started last night and although there was a lot of rain overnight it had stopped by the morning. The forecast for the next few days is wet but as it was just damp and overcast I set off with my waterproofs packed away.
I wish I could write excitedly about Northern Ontario but the truth of it is there is not much to see apart from trees and some rocks and occasionally water. The road continues to be good with a wide shoulder which is great. I know I am going to lose it but every km I have a good shoulder is a blessing. Most of the traffic continues to be courteous.
I did see a moose today, unfortunately it was dead in the ditch. There are so many signs for moose in this area but it was sad to see. Most of the day was overcast and blustery. The highlight was probably the Raleigh Falls picnic spot.

I made it to Ignace in good time and headed straight to Subway where I had a foot long sub, 2 cookies and chocolate milk, did I mention my appetite seems to have increased!! It's amazing where the evenings go though, especially with the wetter weather, I didn't wipe down my bike or clean the chain this morning as I figured it would be wet today so I checked it over and put lube on the chain etc. Fortunately the bugs have not been too bad so far.
Beach in Ignace, bit too chilly for a swim.
