Our ride today basically consisted of a fairly fast ride through a series of rolling hills. It was great to be out of the Prairies, and riding through the Canadian shield. It seemed that on each granite rock, someone had built an Inuksuk, a stone statue which appears to be a “green” form of graffiti. I took a few moments on the side of the road and left my mark - complete with a moss hairpiece!
When we stopped for lunch on the side of the road, we happened upon a patch of fresh ripe blueberries, a rather nice break from ripe bananas.
Once again the roadside scenery was spectacular, with a new lake of bay every few miles...
We arrived in camp, basically a provincial park where mosquitoes happened to be a protected species. Before we could get our tents pitched, we had about 40 mosquitoes drawing blood from our exposed surfaces, and it did not let up until we went to bed.
Other than the bugs, and the fact that there was not a level piece of ground on the campsite it was great – hot showers (free), and a great lake for swimming.
