Along came a Spyder

So Simon is back in Newmarket now- he was with us from T-Bay to almost Sault Ste. Marie. I'm not positive if my liver has recovered from our daily 24 pack demolition. A true test of endurance that most cyclists shy away from I'm afraid. It was great having him along though. Our dinners and breakfast quality really improved while he was around. But we have quickly managed to find our way back to canned chili and oatmeal. Our last night with Simon was at Montreal River Harbour which has great sunsets, one store, one campground and 7 registered voters. So a little small.

The terrain got less hilly on the way to the Soo. We ended up there on July the 4th but didn't catch any fireworks from the American Sault Ste. Marie. It was our first sight of the States since Osoyoos, BC. The next day we had off and we ended up going the Canadian Bushplane Museum which had about 20 old bushplanes. The pride of the exhibit was the first De Havilland Beaver ever made. They also had a De Havilland Twin Otter and one of the few surviving Fairchild Huskies.

We have been making good time and are in Sudbury right now (yes we did see the Big Nickle) and our destination tonight is Sturgeon Falls. And today we ran into Fraser- Simon's brother in law on the old highway 17 so that was pretty cool/random. We should be in Ottawa by the end of the week.
