june 15- sault ste marie - montreal river- 108km
june 16- montreal river- wawa - 119.8km
june 17- wawa to white lake prov. park- 138km
june 18- white lake prov. park- outside terrace bay- 95km
june 19- outside terrace bay- outside nipigon, on- 131.4
june 20- outside nipigon- thunder bay on 137km

so many highlights- i'll name a few to keep it brief.

1) the beauty of northern ontario
-lake superior is incredible. it's huge, its beautiful. if you haven't seen it, you have to come up here and check it out. the huge hills (mountains) and trees are breathtaking- at some points you feel like you could be anywhere in the world.

2) how generous people are (again).
-in sault ste marie, a family friend of adrian's put us up in a beautiful hotel for the night and had us over for an amazing dinner. a total stranger paid for our lunch one day out of the blue. alexandra and her family have treated us so well, and have given us a great day off in thunderbay.

3) hills are huge.
-we have gone up hills that have taken us 20 minutes to climb at 10km per hour. we are masters now, and are barely out of breath when we get to the top.

4) there ARE a lot of blackflies in northern ontario.
-they don't seem to want to bite us that much, but they love swarming us.

5) we are still having fun, and still like each other a lot.
it's true, the days can get long...and the tent small- but we are still loving every minute.

we will be in manitoba in less than a week, and our next rest day will be there.
it has been a great time in ontario, but we are excited to get out and see a new province. ontario is really big. check out a map- it really is really big.

enjoy the pictures, i wish i could put more up.

cheers!
