Day 15
Hot day in the saddle reached 31 degrees centigrade at one
stage sweaty hot. Plan was to try and do some km today but as usual did not hit
the road till 10.30 after my free breakfast at the hostel did not sleep much as
it was very hot and sweaty in the room as well. Spent all day driving until
about 17.30 when I had ran out of steam so grabbed some food and went to look
for a campsite I seen on the free map I got from the info desk in North bay. In
answer to yesterday question I have decided to take the 11 not the 17 to
Thunder Bay as it is 1.5 hrs. Shorter! And is more scenic. The roads have been
pretty boring most of the day with the odd glimpse of interesting scenery every
now and again does not bode to well if it is going to be like this for the next
x thousand clicks. When I got to the campsite it was closed or so it seemed
talked to some folks and the they told me just to set up camp and sort it the
morning so it a huge site with only about 3 other groups on it. Seemingly the
season here does not start till the 1st of July so I seem to be ahead of the
season here as well. Sitting on a bench outside typing this fighting of the
fly’s and the mossies’ will later so I am wrapped in my inner sheet which has
allegedly been treated with DEAT so hope that will keep them away. Someone from
Ontario Parks popped round and informed me that camping was 37 CAD a night
jeepers could have got a hotel for that I thought camping was supposed to be
the cheap option! He told me that Ontario was one of the most expensive
provinces in Canada going to have to check prices before setting up camp, as I
was not expecting it to be this expensive. Going to watch the sunset over lake
Temagami and probably have an early night and see if I can hit the road at
reasonable time and gets some km under my belt
