By mid-day today we were again into the long hills we've expected and know will be a part of the next few days, until just after Thunder Bay. At a gateway to "Wet and Wild" adventure we posed with jumbo sized ATVs and then had a nice long lunch break at an unexpected Greek restaurant attached to a PetroCan station (the place we had hoped to eat is now closed). Neys Provincial Park camp is at the end of a 3.2Km long down hill, which was fun at the end of a day of up hills. At the camp site laundry station we spoke for a bit with a 60yo man who is just starting bicycle touring. Y gave her trip message: "If you can ride to the grocery store and home again in the pouring rain, you can ride across Canada." Neys was established during WWI, mostly for German POWs, but without the austere policies of POW camps in Germany. The POWs at the camps ate well in mess halls, had sports teams and music groups and many stayed in the community after the war. Our Neys camp is on the edge of the Lake and again hear the surf on the beach as we prepare for the night.
