Halfway!!

The tree that fell during the night after having been hi by lightening the previous afternoon made a good bike stand and seat for the cyclists to enjoy their breakfast. Some of you know that Mike and I lost the big tree in our front yard about a week after I left for the trip. The tree was about 15 years old and I am sure it will take some getting used to seeing the bare front yard.
The big Canada Goose in downtown Wawa, the significance of this is lost to us. Something we will have to find out about.

Someone was trying to crash our lunch. We have to continually get these guys out of the truck when we are in camp. They have been known to chew through water bottles and sandwich containers. So far though, no bears have been spotted in our sites.The beach at Katherine Cove.

Another beautiful cove along the ride today.

Obatanga o Agawa Day Day 37

Our late arrival in camp meant a short night for me. I was on cooking duty for the morning and had missed the evening meal the night before which I was supposed to help with. I was kind of out of the loop for information and the end of breakfast we had to boil water for the truck to carry. This set us back a bit and we set off later from camp than we had hoped to.

While the weather started out as questionable we were pleasantly surprised to not get the rain that was forecasted. Our trip this day took us through Wawa and a stop at Tim's, something we had been missing.

The Tour du Canada truck was stopped at Old Woman Bay where they supplied a "Halfway Lunch", this day being the halfway mark of our trip, not in mileage but in days. From the hill just before Old Woman Bay and right on until we got to camp, he scenery was a spectacular as a couple days before. We thought this would be what we might see while cycling Cabot Trail. Lots of steep climbs with a beautiful vista at the top. Some of the scenes were those you might see in a movie, the beaches were welcoming. There were lots of little coves where kids were playing in the water despite how cold it was. Katherine Cove was beautiful and typical of other coves we rode by. Looking out over the water had a soothing affect, something you likely would never tire of.

Our camp was situated along Lake Superior and the waves once again lulled me to sleep. The sunset was beautiful and reminded me of those we see off Station Beach in Kincardine. The next day was to be a shorter day and we were looking forward to a rest day after 5 days of challenging rides and weather.
