When dad phoned last evening he was just east of Dryden. It was a beautiful night and Tim Horton's is a couple of miles up the road so he thought he would camp in one of the many campgrounds around Dryden. Wabigoon is approximately 10 miles east, but a whole lot of nothing around it. He figured he would enjoy the night and know that he would be close to Tim Horton's for the morning to start his ride to Upsala today.
Yesterday he stopped at a park to refuel (a quick bite to eat) and there were a couple of ladies who were on their way to visit their sister. They chatted with dad and they wanted their picture taken with dad to take and show their sister. The people that dad has met has been unbelievable and very supportive.
Today the towns are few and far between. When he leaves today the next town with food and accommodations is Ignace approximately 63 miles. From there he has another 65 miles to Upsala. This is another small town, but there is food and accommodations and he will be spending the night in Upsala. Dad also mentioned that there were quite a few rolling hills yesterday. He is getting himself ready for some of the climbs that are to come his way.
