Day 22: Rain… Upsula to Thunder Bay 155 km
I mentioned we did not have a host last night. The camp ground became our host. They did not charge us for the night because they like what we are attempting to accomplish!!
Over night there was a thunder and lighting storm. We started our day in heavy rain. The first of the trip. Shortly after we left Upsula we saw a wolf along the road! It did not wait around for a photo opportunity.
I have fairly good rain gear but after an hour or so I was totally soaked! We crossed into a new time zone…
The good news is the rain only lasted for about an hour and we had a tail wind! By the time we got close to Thunder Bay the sun was out and we were dry! What a beautiful area. According to google maps we have gone just over 3300 km. We are not half way yet!
When we got to Thunder Bay Rob and Jacquie needed a couple things for the RV so they stopped at the local Home Hardware. Robyn was so kind to give them to us for free!! Got to love our wonderful sponsors!
Because it was a short day, we got to our host’s home at about 4 pm. Jim and Lynda make us a nice dinner. Then we were off to a presentation at the Hilldale Lutheran Church. Really enjoyed the time with the folks there. Timo has some Finnish friends who attend this church.
To rap up the evening we stopped to see the Thunder Bay harbor at sunset. With a good view of the “Sleeping Giant” on the far side of the harbor.
Here’s another shot of the huge grain elevators in the port.
Day 22 started with a hard rain. I really do not like riding in the rain! The day ended as such a wonderful day on so many levels. I’m grateful for the many wonderful people who are making this very challenging and demanding trip a wonderful journey!
