Yesterday was another nice day for cycling. Dad had a tail wind and arrived in Sault Ste Marie early afternoon and went to a bike shop that was suggested by his hosts in Marathon. Dad stopped at the Voyayeur's Lodge and Cook House and said the food was out of this world. The Lodge and Cook House have fact signs and dad mentioned that he has cycled 3611 km and 2366 km to go. He was telling me, as he could physically see it on a map, how far he has cycled. He was amazed himself.
He also saw a bear. It was on the run and had ran out of the woods and across the street. It did not even look left or right it just zoomed out of nowhere. Dad was quite happy it did not see him! A few days ago he watched a moose with her two babies.
Today he is off to Blind River. His hosts live in Algoma Mills which is approximately 12km east of Blind River. Blind River has a Tim Hortons which dad is going to give me a call from and then continue on to his hosts.
