Rain, cold, head winds, and hills

From pakenham we headed to Eganville and stayed at a great campsite on Dore lake. On the way we encountered two thunderstorms and took shelter on private property. One was a barn, the other a back porch of a home. It was a long day, about 10 hours on the saddle.

The next morning we were packed up had another long wet cold day, and made it to the east edge of madawaska where Mike sweet talked the owner of a trailer park to allow us to stay, they were a seasonal only campground.

From there we had the toughest day with long steep hills prior to entering Algonquin park. We camped about 30 km into the park. We packed up wet and headed to a friends cottage in Dwight.

Wifi was not available along the way and even cell coverage was sketchy.
