Day 33 Espanola to Dunrobin, ON
September 1st, 2009 | 
Author: Another sunny and great riding day! We left Espanola this morning in the cool but by the end of the afternoon we had shed a jacket. It is amazing how beautiful the Ontario roads are after you have traveled through the desert. We really enjoyed the ride through the hills, trees, and the numerous lakes. I always complained about the northern Ontario roads but not anymore – after Arizona, Ontario roads are great – lots of colour, traffic, and people……
We stopped in Deep River again to visit with Darlene’s family. We had lunch with family members whom we had not met on the stop a month ago. We did stop and visit with Dale and Nancy also.
We have arrived in Ottawa where we will drop off Cathy. She will be staying for a couple of days in order to purchase a vehicle that she will take back to Nova Scotia. We have had a lot of fun riding two up – there was always someone with a free hand to take photos along the route. It will be sad that she is not able to continue with us but we have 1000s of photos and memories of all our travels together… And we have had many many laughs and stories that will not be forgotten.
Darlene and I will be leaving tomorrow morning uncertain of our route at this time but we do know that on Friday we will be in St. John, NB to visit with her sister.

Good grief they’re coming here?! Ok, we have a creek out back but certainly not the size of the Grand Canyon. As a husband and father I have always joked (just joking folks!) that I lived in a prison, but nothing like Alcatraz mind you. Food. Well can we at least offer them over-sized portions that they appear to have enjoyed in the United States? Yes, food is a possibility at least.
Ok we’ll figure something out ladies. Cya in a couple of days!
Regards
Hi Ladies
We have a big ridge of high pressure pushing good weather into the area so the gods are with you. You will be able to complete your trip, hopefully without rain gear. I am glad you are stopping and enjoying the people you meet on the way through last month. I see you are also getting in a few vists along the way. It puts the purpose in your journey home and it will keeps “get home itis” at bay.
Can’t wait to see you all again and hear the stories from the second half. Stay safe.
