69.2Kms
We can't say enough good things about the Ontario Parks system (from being able to register and choose your site on-line, to the great staff, fantastic amenities, and the location of Parks). Our site at Agawa Bay was right on the edge of the beach looking West to a gorgeous sunset on the surf and pebble and sand beach of the big lake the Ojibwe call Gichi Gami. This morning we met Josh (who's ride is Victoria to St. John's to raise awareness for brain injury). We had a nice exchange and then said good-riding to each other as we pedalled away. In addition to seeing beautiful vistas today, as we were passing over some big hills above Lake Superior and today we reached 3,000 Kms in our 3-part ride across Canada! We stopped for lunch at Northgate Chip Wagon Plus (for the local version of F&C) then rode to Montreal River proper for a pay phone to make our pre-planned call-in to our office and home contacts for accounting and business info needs (thank you so much Paisley and Jackie!). Arriving at Agawa Bay campground, which is in Lake Superior Provincial Park, we found their Interpretive Centre to be very interesting with an impressive, interactive natural and cultural mini-museum. After about an hour there, we rode to Park Registration and on to our fantastic site! We had our salad with local smoked fish (again, yum) we had picked up at a shop in the morning time. Our tent was pitched without the fly, for a better view of the colours of the last bit of sunset, and to see the stars above.
