Catch up

We have had a great tour so far. Sitting in a Tim Hortons in Grand Bend. Tents are pitched in an RV park across the street.

After spending the night in Dwight we took a short 30km ride to Mikes moms house in Huntsville and got spoiled. We left the next morning for a long wet ride through brace ridge, gravenhurst, a short harrowing few miles on hw11 on a rainy Sunday afternoon, then hooked up to moonstone road and took it across the 400 to a nice campground on Orr lake.

From there we rode west to wasaga beach. Too cold to swim but we rode the beach trail and proceeded to collingwood where we were going to rent mountain bikes to try the downhill trails. Unfortunately the hill was closed due to all the rain. We ended up hosted by a good friend of Laura's who happened to see us on the road at a red light. That was a fabulous evening. Laundry done and slept and ate well

From there we took the Georgian trail towards Owen sound but dove south to visit Frankie who rolled out all the camp must do's. The wood stove was pumping heat, he had lamb skewers and a chunk of pork on the smoker. We walked the 90 acre property, saw a wild turkey, did some cross bow target shooting. It was a great visit. I'm glad I finally got up to see it.

From there we had our first dry day on the road. We headed north west towards port Elgin, then south to kincardin. It was a long ride but the weather was great. We met a group of three Americans who were circling Lake Huron for their tour. We met up with them on the road a few times the next day (today)
