We got up this morning with some drizzle on our heads as we packed the tent and a plan to run South to Toronto in order to follow the shorelines of the Great Lakes. But at breakfast some people were telling us that a storm/rain front with torrential rain is coming down in the South and West. So we changed our plans and remained at the current level and moved East, hoping to avoid the rain. We left Parry Sound, ON and rode toward the beautiful Algonquin Provincial Park and Ottawa. But as we started the rain had moved East enough from the Southwest and we ran for the first hour or so in rain. But as we moved further to the East we outran the rain and once again the beauty of the hundreds of little or bigger lakes in the this part of Ontario showed up. This is definitely a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, specially if you enjoy kayaking or canoeing. But there is little time to enjoy the scenery as we need to hurry. The sky behind us is getting darker, and it did hit us again close to Ottawa. So we circled Ottawa and found a place to dry up again in Rigaud, QC.
Unfortunately no pictures of today, only memories of a certainly beautiful countryside here in Ontario, at least of that we could see through the rain.
