I felt in a better mood for riding today but unfortunatelly there were still plenty of headwinds to slow me down. I didn’t let them stop me more often than usual though and had a snack in Dorion then lunch in Red Rock. I met Shaun again while having lunch (the biker from yesterday) because he was eating inside the restaurant where I stopped to eat at a picnic table outside.

We rode to Nipigon together and stopped for a snack at a Robins Donuts before heading further into town for Shaun to get groceries since he thought he would ride and camp with me for a couple days. We set off at a good pace from Nipigon and took a break at the top of a large hill about 30km away.

Late in the afternoon we made it to Rossport, a very nice looking small town on a bay of Lake Superior. We found a place to camp near the far edge of town by some unoccupied cabins (we knocked to ask permission but nobody was there). Since nobody was there, we borrowed a couple of their deck chairs and had dinner on the beach. Other than the black flies (which bit my feet constantly because I forgot to put bug spray on them) this is probably one of the nicest places I’ve camped so far.
