I awoke to the coldest morning I’d encountered thus far on my trip. I’d been worried about Winnie freezing but all that hair of hers seems to be keeping her toasty. I knew I had a huge drive ahead of me so I wasted no time packing my tent and getting on the road as soon as I could.
The drive took me through a land of thick forests. Mini black flies began to appear again, I feel they’re something unavoidable as you go further north in the forested regions of Canada.
A thick layer of clouds accompanied me throughout the day. Occasional patches of rain fell upon the land, quenching the thirst of the countless trees as it seeped into the soil.
While much of the journey was through flat areas, I eventually found myself driving alongside massive cliffs and sizable lakes. The change in scenery was welcomed as it brought a greater variety of views to appreciate.
I drove on into the night, arriving at Thunder Bay where I stopped to rest my eyes. That rest turned into a full on nap as I woke up hours later at 1 am. I guess I’d been more tired than I thought. Opting to continue the drive in the morning I dozed off once again as the wind and rain continued outside my car.
