Got an early start after a coffee at the Tim Hortons in Wawa. The ride, all 820 kilometers was easy. The temperature was ideal, low twnties and the traffic was very light. There is some road work and I was held up twice, once for over 15 minutes (see middle picture). There is some amazing scenary along the way, especially between Marathon and Thunder Bay where Highway 17 hugs the shore of Lake Superior at certain points. I stopped at the Terry Fox Monument just outside of Thunder Bay. I had been to this site before with Minister Clement when he was the Minister of Health and had responsibility for FEDNOR.
On a slightly negative note, my phone did not work from around the Sault up until I arrived here in Fort Frances. Is it possible that there is no network access for that whole stretch??
Tomorrow I travel to Winnipeg, about half the mileage of today; that is good as I will be able to visit something or other.
