Sheguiandah, ON to Happy Hearts Tent and Trailer Park in Tobermory, ON

The easy day today surely was easy! I slept in but time still went fast. I didn't slip in time to change clothes so I just rode in my sweatpants and plain black shirt which I wore to bed.
The ferry ride was easily the highlight of the day so far (because Caleb and I are finding a skatepark). The greatest entertainment on the ferry was two guys and a girl that knew formal dancing. First it seemed they had no music but they played it off of their phones. William offered his speaker and they used it awhile.

Time: 2hr 40min ish
Trip: 55km ish (not including ferry ride)
Avg: unknown
Max: unknown
My odometer is no longer working, likely just a dead battery.

Just loaded.

Top deck viewing area.

The dancers.

About to head out.

Amqui, QC to Sugarloaf Provincial Park in Atholville, NB

A day to savour. Riders are more relaxed now that your days are winding down and the ride distances are shortening even by just a few kilometres. It's strange how 20km less per day, about an hour of riding lessons per day, makes us feel like the day's are so much shorter. My group stayed ahead of me all day which was quite alright as I took it easy. The morning fog made for a cool by special morning. I rode primarily with no hands for the first 45km so I could sit up and take it easy. The parrelling of the Saumon River ensured a pleasant sight and a slight downhill over the day. In camp tonight we are at the foot of a ski hill. Sugarloaf Provincial Park sounds awesome as it has camping, skiing, mountain biking, hiking, snow shoeing, cross country skiing, tennis, and day use areas. It's truly a year round park and the staff I have met are friendly. We entered New Brunswick today and it's a radically quick change to see mostly English once again. It almost feels too ba

Bathurst, NB to Daigle Daigle Park Campground in Saint-Louis, NB

I made many stops today. There were numerous unmaintained of completely abandoned homes and buildings to be seen today. My first spark for looking into abandoned places was on the south side of Bathurst. I didn't know it's name at the time but I saw the left over concrete from the power and paper mill. I began to notice homes along the secondary road 134 that had been abandoned. In the pictures you'll hear more of their stories. Besides the buildings I took interest in, the day faired well. The hills and bumps of the road were worse in the morning and smoothed out after Miramichi, roughly half way. Tomorrow is our longer day of the week but I really don't have much of worries. I pray for favorable wind and good sights. I plan on handing out many many Sea to Sea cards and stickers tomorrow. Only four more riding days left! Trip: 127.5km Time: 7:16am to 3:30ish pm Remains of the Bathurst Power and Paper company. After some research its name and that it ju

Today began with a good breakfast but the drive was long. The Stehouwer family was tired and grumpy but resolved their issues when it came time to enjoy Theodore Roosevelt National Park. The park offered scenic views at the Painted Canyon Rest stop and 36mile scenic loop packed with prairie dogs, wild horses, bison, and hiking trails. From the national park we drove a long hour to Glendive, Montana. Without a pool for entertainment, the family got Pizza Hut for dinner and watched John skateboard and the local skatepark. John was quite thrilled and even made a friend who let him borrow a full size skateboard.  All in all, the day turned out to be a good one for the books!
