Hard to find much to say about today. Hills, forest, more hills, more forest.....
No shops, garages, houses along the way. Took 6 hours 40 minutes, about 1/2 hour less than for the same distance yesterday.
Lots of large pesky black flies buzzing us while we rode. They must be attracted by the smell of sweat, sun cream etc. Its one of the less attractive aspects to camping in Canada. I've gone through 2 containers of insect repellent and the trip is not quite 1/2 way through.
I rode with Linda, Angela and Harry. We stopped regularly but there really wasn't a lot to see - other than forest and hills.
This is the 4th day of 6 heading toward Thunder Bay. I suspect the scenery will be the same tomorrow.
Atikokan is nothing to much to write about. A service town of a few hundred people about 3 km off the main road. The camp ground just has an ablution block. At least it will be quiet. However the Mosquitos are unbearable! Simply won't leave us alone. Only place to be is inside the tent.
The young lady Megan parked the truck beside the road to resupply us all with water about 85k into the ride today. Once we had all left she found she was stuck and had to wait a couple of hours to get towed out.
