Day Forty Seven - Carrying Place

Paul and Rodney visited me last night for a hour. It was nice to catch up with them after not seeing them for a number of years.

Although we have our tents close together mostly every night it is quite different to have everyone in one room especially if the person beside you is snoring like a chainsaw. 

Today is the day that most people get lost according to a vet if the tour. It has many turns in the cue sheet and some of them aren't exactly at the correct kilometre. We did not get lost but I did tJe some wrong turns and had to be corrected by another rider. 

Today we made our way out of the long up and down hills and south to the shores of Lake Ontario. It was a nice day was a lot of sunshine but not too hot. 

Befote Port Hope we stopped at a sports store so that John could buy a chain but they did not have what he wanted. We headed to Port Hope for lunch. I was planning to meet my parents at Tim Hortons and John had plans with the group at a cafe in downtown. 

After lunch we continued East to our destination. The weather continued to be good but there was a bit of a head wind. We got to camp early enough to get out tents set up and have a shower. 

My parents dropped by and I gave them a tour of the camp and truck. They dropped off bottles of wine, oranges, and grapefruit. It was appreciated by the group. They headed home before dinner was served. 

At dinner there we lots of hornets lying around. They are attracted to the sugar in the PPP and the fruit. Even though we were on a lake I did not get a chance to see it. 

I got the bed early as tomorrow is a long day. 


Rod and Paul driving home after coming to visit me the previous day.  Thanks guys!
