Gas: Price/li$ Amount

Left St. Catharines late due to inclement weather (rain). Overcast all the way, especially north of Barrie & Parry Sound area. No rain until Sudbury bypass where it rained for ten minutes. Misty to Thessalon but no rain. Bike was flawless, grabbing the road in wet conditions, passing transports with no effort. Wish I could take pictures along the way, but I knew I was playing Russian Roulette with the weather.
Will spend a few days in the Soo to visit family. Plan on leaving for Kakabeka Fall near Thunder Bay. Weather is supposed to be a bit wet.

    Hi! Enjoyed the photos. I really loved the one of clear Lake Superior and they neat rocks in the water.

    Are you going to stop at Ouiment Canyon. A good test of your bike on mountain like roads.

    Have a nice visit with your family.

  2. Doran,

    It's a relief to be far away from that messy desk (of yours!).
    I admire you for taking this journey. Sunny days are in the forecast...
    Lake Superior looks so vast. Enjoy your family visit. Gavin I will keep following you on your trip.
