Going International

Taken on the bridge crossing the Pigeon River.

Two days ago I crossed Pigeon River into Canada. Customs was fast and easy, and the customs agent even bothered to ask me if my family knew where I was. Trying to adjust to the time change, I got an early bedtime on an abandoned side road several miles past the border.

On Tuesday I made good time into Thunder Bay. My first stop was at a gas station to go to the bathroom and check Google Maps for grocery stores. The cashier, Fred, offered me a free sandwich and Gatorade! Thank you Fred! Then, I proceeded to waste 4 hours navigating a large, foreign city with a heavy bike, no internet, and city traffic.

It's drizzling rain here in Hurkett, ON and I'm glad to be back on the road.
