Day 30 (August 1st)

Nipigon to Little Pic River, ON

There was a pleasant chill to the air today and it carried my bicycle and I into the late morning.

Coming down the hill into Rossport I was hit with an absolutely stunning view of Lake Superior.
Seconds later I was hit with a view of two large sailboats anchored in the harbour... My heart melted.
I decided to talk Shireen into a sailing trip up here. It shouldn't be too hard to convince her.

I pulled in to a rest area on the shore to regain my composure and found Dave.
We caught up over lunch before he got back on the road as I took my time and enjoyed a rest.

The day's ride was up and down, but not too painful. I also came across a road sign that I hadn't encountered for some time... Perhaps Tyler will recognize it?

In the evening, when I decided I could go no further that day, I pulled into a rest area near Little Pic River and was delighted to find Dave and his tent.





















Route: Hwy 17

Glad you are riding on... Thinkin' of ya everyday.
