Western Ontario


Day 3: 
Espanola to White River
342 miles
Along the north shore of Lake Superior:

Day 4: 
White River to Thunder Bay
240 miles
Bears enjoy a snack at the Thunder Bay garbage dump:

And by the way, I met up with my friend Tom Trist in Thunder Bay.  He made this video of the two of us in Nepal last November.  WARNING: This video is insanely cool, and it may cause seizures in viewers who suffer from epilepsy.  Yes, the video is that filled with AWESOME:


Day 5: 
Thunder Bay to Dryden
217 miles
Somewhere in western Ontario, I crossed the line that separates the Eastern and Central time zones.  You cannot imagine how exciting this moment was:


Day 6: 
Dryden, ON to Winnipeg, Manitoba
219 miles
And finally, after what seemed like months in the Ontario wilderness, I reached Manitoba and the city of Winnipeg, something fairly close to an actual civilization.  I was amazed at how flat and straight the highway was leading into Winnipeg -- straight all the way to the horizon.  For more than an hour.  Nothing but straightness for as far as the eye can see.  Here's Winnipeg:



That's it for tonight, people.  3 blog posts, lots of photos, and now I'm tired.

I'll try to keep updating this blog at least once a week, maybe more often if I'm in a good mood.

Goodnight from Winnipeg!
