Day 21 Just for FUN - Kenora to Fort Frances 204.84km


Heat and humidity down in Southern Ontario has made me appreciate the cooler weather of the North, although I didn't appreciate the wind. Side note: Suzanne I am staying hydrated.

Today I really noticed the smell of the wildflowers at the side of the road. I suppose one of the biggest differences to driving versus cycling (besides the obvious) is that while in a car you don't experience the sweet smells of flowers, crops, crisp morning air, grasses, the scent of the air after a rainfall... and the not as pretty smells of fertilizer on farmers fields, dead skunks/porcupine/beaver/deer/prairie dogs. I've learned to appreciate all of them - some more than others (of course).

Anyway, probably will be taking it a bit easier tomorrow after another long day in the saddle.

Distance today: 204.84km
Total to date: 3009.39km - Finally over the 3000km mark.
