This morning was a cool morning because it had rained during the night. We packed up quickly, not letting our tents dry because there wasn’t enough sun through the trees. I tried to fill up my water bottles from the tap on the cabins but the water seemed to be shut off.
On the way up one of the larger hills we caught up to another cyclist named James Noble, who runs www.bicycletouring101.com, and was biking all the way around Lake Superior. He has biked around each of the 5 great lakes in 5 years now. When we stopped for lunch in Terrence Bay, he caught up with us and chatted for a while longer before we left him behind to have his lunch.
There were several more long steep hills on the way to Marathon and we took a fair number of breaks. We headed downhill into Marathon (a large hill we were going to have to come up in the morning unfortunatelly) and found the Penn Lake campground. It cost us $20, though we thought for a while we weren’t going to have to pay because nobody came around to collect it until 9:30.
