Day 4

Total mileage on ride is 997 miles

Today we covered 249 miles, not too bad considering we were off investigating points of interest.
Great riding conditions today -cool and clear. Towards the end of today’s ride it started to get even cooler, and the wind picked up off the lake. The ride was breathtaking once we started across the far north shore. In many ways I felt like I was near the Black Hills or eastern Wyoming, the big difference being the never ending coverage of spruce and birch trees, and hundreds of small lakes.

Food and fuel up here is expensive. I filled up at Nipigon, and it was a little over $7 per gallon. You can't get 93 octane here, this was 91. A fish sandwich at the local restaurant was 8 dollars. We stopped at a local super market in Marathon and found many American brands were double what they are at home.

But the scenery…oh man, what a day!
Tomorrow we should make Sault Ste Marie and back in the USA. We’ll be two third of the way around by then.
