WHOA.
It is 10:30 ish. We got up at 8 and basically have not stopped since then. At the end of each day I find myself pleasantly amused that we’ve done so much, that it wasn’t a years vacations remembered all in one sitting, but only the contents of one day.
We got up, went to the Elliot Lake Fire Tower where we saw Manitoulin Island from a great distance, then headed up to the Deer Trail Touring Route. We’re still editing video from this trip, and should have it up shortly. It was great fun, but probably best suited for the adventure touring set.
Then we hit Highway 129.
This is without a doubt the best riding road we’ve encountered so far. Made me feel like the first day I rode a motorcycle all over again. We’re working on that video too, but combine the roller-coasteryness of a country backroad graded like a heavily forested race track, and views of lakes, rivers and enormous cliffs and mountains, through an incredibly tranquil, sparsely populated wilderness and you start to get the idea.
Tomorrow, we’ve got a ton of stuff to catch up on in the AM, but are hoping to hit the Soo for a couple of attractions in the PM, such as the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Museum. You all know how much I like old machines…
