Journey
in a Nutshell
George begged the motel manager to open the restaurant at 7 A.M instead
of 8 so we could get an early start... We had trouble finding gas for the
machines, due to it being Sunday and Canada..... (there does not seem to
be many stations...) We drove 2 times to the only open gas station (4 miles)
with the van with 8 - 1 gallon gas cans, that we carry as spares. We finally
left about 8:30, We rode over 220 miles today, from Sudbury, Ont. to Timmons,
Ont., riding on trails ranging from super trails (just like an expressway)
to a trail that we think was just completed yesterday, through the swamp....
by far it was the best trails we have seen so far. The only gas station
we could find open about half way cost us about an average of $27 canadian....
per machine (you could fill your truck in Michigan for that). George and
now Betty got sick to their stomachs today, after some up and down and
around trails, that felt like you rode a roller coaster at Six Flags for
hours. John wants everyone to know that he gave Pete a snow douche today.....
there's one problem with that.... Pete doesn't no when to quit..... look
for more on this accelerating feud. By the way, for those people with either
a very poor monitor or printer.... the Sow's on Saturday's
page are not BEAR's!

This picture was taken just a few miles out of Sudbury, the tree's looked like they were made of glass and sparkled. All day we kept running into areas were the trees were hanging heavy with ice, in one case we went through an area that had burned just a few years ago and the contrast of the burnt trees, snow and ice, was very eerie. | |

Another example of the spectacular scenery that we encountered
today.....

We experienced a sparkling sunset through the ice covered trees and then arrived to a full moon raising as we pulled into our motel in Timmons, Ont. |
