We had headwinds, many big hills, roads in varying states of (dis)repair and with about 30 km left to go I noticed that I was surrounded by black clouds. Soon, the skies opened up and I was in the middle of a thunderstorm. I tried to find some shelter against a cliff face but out was no use. Eventually I carried on, glad that I had new batteries in my tail light because visibility was pretty bad. I was even worried I might miss the turn off to the campground.
I did make it to camp some time after 6. I left Nipigon at 7:40 this morning so it was as long day. My mistake was having two long lunch stops on the road, but then hindsight is 20/20, isn't it?
In other news, I'm sad to announce the passing of my Nikon point-and-shoot camera that I was using for almost all my pictures. A bump in the road yesterday threw its lenses out of wack. I did manage a few pictures with my phone along the route, which was quite scenic in spots as it climbed rocky cliffs beside Lake Superior. It reminded me a bit of the Cabot Trail.
To do: look up the definition of escarpment.
