Well my time in Thunderbay was short but sweet. I spent two nights there, staying at my brother, Adam's place. I got a bit of a tour of the city, and got to catch up with my friend Jordan on my second evening there. The morning I left, I met up again with Dave out on the highway. We visited the Terry Fox memorial there (Thunderbay was where he stopped his run) then we continued on our way. Just as we stopped for lunch it started to drizzle and by the time we were done eating it was pouring. We were soaked by the time we found a gas station. We pulled in and the owners were more than welcoming. We were able to put our wet clothing in a dryer, and spent about two hours there playing cards and drinking hot chocolate as we hoped the rain would pass. In that time two other cyclists came through: Rob who I had met before, and Noah an energetic character from Colorado who stayed just long enough to drink a carton of juice haha. When the rain seemed to have eased up a bit we headed out again and peddled as fast as we could to our destination town of Nipigon. We still got soaked again in that stretch, but met up with Noah again in town and together we decided a motel room was in order. We ended up at a motel that had just opened and the owners were very hospitable. We were able to do laundry and spent the evening sitting by a fire and eating large amounts of food. (Noah learned what poutine was and enjoyed it for the first time haha).
I only have five minutes left on this computer (I'm in a public library, but I'll be back to finish this entry) Cheers!
