Day 5

Day 5 – June 2

A long day – 1000 km and 13 hours from Sudbury to Thunder Bay.

Google maps says it is 6000 km from Halifax to Victoria and 2800 km from Halifax to Thunder Bay.  So somewhere between Thunder Bay and Dryden we will be half way home.

The goal tomorrow is Winnipeg – about 700 km.  A longish day but short compared to today. 

Keefers did very well. But he did give us the evil eye a couple of times. At least he is willing to eat this trip.  Ten years ago he lost a lot of weight because he wouldn't eat at the end of the day.  I think we've driven him enough over the years that he's comfortable and trusts us....to a degree.  :)

Not a great day for pictures. It was cloudy, misty and rainy from Sudbury to Sault Ste. Marie. Once we got to the Soo it was cold and windy for the rest of the day.  Charles was wearing shorts and a T-shirt so really felt under dressed.

Keefers and the Wawa Goose.  The Goose seems much smaller than remembered from 10 years ago. 

We finally gave Keefers a real break at Marathon (seemed appropriate)

This was called Pebble Beach, we think you can see why.

  Scenes on Lake Superior

The two big events of the day:

 - we lost cell phone service somewhere between Sault Ste. Marie and Wawa. Did not get it back until Thunder Bay. Odd to be out of contact for so long.  

 - we saw a MOOSE by the side of the road. But by the time I slammed on the brakes and backed up, he had enough and crashed off through the bush. No picture.
