About 30km W of Kenora to Dryden, ON
I found a roadside restaurant and had a morning hamburger soon after starting my day.
Lakes were very plentiful in this area.
As I approached Kenora, I encountered two of the riders from the Velo Quebec group.
In town, I bought more sunscreen and finally found the bear mace Shireen insisted I buy... Probably a good idea.
Close to mid-day, I stopped for a slushy and met Paul, a fellow headed East to West on a four wheeled, two seated bicycle of his own construction. We hid in the shade and talked for a while.
Dryden offered much as far as services are concerned, but the town was very much divided by the rail line that bisected it. Few road or even pedestrian crossings really seemed to sequester its downtown, quite unfortunately.
A few more tempting lakes were passed and I gave in -- taking a cool dip and resting beside the water.
After passing through town I found an abandoned and well treed gravel pit and camped.
Route: Hwy 17
