Lake of the Woods was fogged in this morning. By noon when we left it was clear and the clouds were wisps by the early afternoon. Our relatively short ride went well, was relaxing, though windy and hilly, and had some long sections of construction to manage. Not only do banana peels have poor aerodynamics, so do little dolls flying out of car windows. We think it was the hair extension - now roadside shoulder dolly is safely off the highway as rock-climber dolly. We took a lot of little breaks and Y put in ear plugs as she doesn't notice the wind if she can't hear it blowing across her ears. Just before Kenora, B was able to get back some Karma for the Wolf spider incident as he helped a cyclist pump a flat. The place B previously booked (in Keewatin, a little West of Kenora) happily had room for us a day early. We are looking forward to going back into Kenora to mail our camping gear home (we were going to do this in Winnipeg, but now have time in Kenora), to do laundry and get a photo with "Husky the muskie".
Your bikes are going to feel so much lighter without all of the camping gear in the panniers! What a remarkable journey you are on. I am so impressed that you camped so many nights and fed yourselves without using a cook-stove. - J.McD.
