No Kms traveling; a few Kms going for coffee run
Our Big Agnes Fly Creek UL3 3-person tent with our lux camp lg thermarests and goose down sleeping bags are perfect! The mesh ceiling of the tent results in condensation on the fly above, so no wet inside when walls accidentally get bumped. Today was a nice relaxing day off. We hung out things at our site to air and dry once the sun came out. Today our only ride was up over the hill to Park reception to fill thermoses at the coffee counter (B in the a.m.; Y in the afternoon). We did housekeeping from just after breakfast until lunch (our tasty selections from Deep River). We did laundry and had showers and B charged electronic devices and external battery packs and worked on the bikes. The bike screw that clamps the seat post broke while being tightened, but we managed to find an alternate from the rear pannier rack and the broken seat support screw worked okay for the rack. We'll look for a replacement in Sudbury. Both our gear systems are not 100% - maybe due to cables being soaked and gritty from riding in the rain on the gravel shoulder - we cleaned them - but the handle bar shifters will need a few sunny days to drive out the water. Y's Blaze 2Watt Micro as well as her rear flasher took on a lot of water and are working only intermittently - we are hopeful they will dry out and work again. There was very little rain today, sun by mid-afternoon, and a lovely sunset.
