Day 19

It's crazy how many abandoned properties there are along this stretch. For every gas station or motel, it seems like there are three that failed. Some look really interesting though, and I am sorely tempted to camp out in one. They're all so close to the highway though..

Today was another perfect day; nice weather, beautiful views along the edge of the lake, some nice hills, and interesting little places every now an then to fill up water. At one break area I had a woman who was driving across Canada come say hi and chat, and he ended up giving me some frozen water bottles and muffins which were freaky appreciated.

Later in the day, with maybe an hour or so of riding left I spotted two loaded bikes outside a truckstop and pulled over to say hi. I ended up meeting Sebastien and Raymond, from Toronto and Vancouver, respectively. Both had been riding solo and teamed up, and now it looks like I'll be joining as well.
