Day 3 Manitoulin Sept 23 15

 

Awoke to a bright sunny day…..on the bikes and on to Mom’s for breakfast. Mindemoya is about 15 k from our lodging and soon we will be heading there for Dinner as it is 5.45 as I type this……I was attempting to guide Ken on roads that he may not have been on before and areas that might yield some caches to keep him happy…lol.

Ken has a habit of attracting the law….so as we were considering motoring around a bridge closed….in the middle of no where….guess what… but but officer we are only looking…haha Motoring on, we soon reach the Wikwemikong Reserve which is the only unceded reserve in Canada……..which only means they never signed the last treaty in the 1800 hundreds….here we stopped for cafe….  Nice little place with pastries and coffee to rival Starbucks…..I then led Ken to the north end of the reserve which is also the most easterly part of the Island. It was here that I let him choose our next lodging as he has been unhappy with my 5 star selection.

Ken, I get the couch, you can have the bed you can have the bed  Ken, I am not eating here

Next, we headed to Manitowoning, where Ken had a gps fix on a cache This is Ken trying to get my attention that he has a marker on the above…..ok ken let’s go…. First we had to stop at this 1800 hundred Jesuit Church….now used as an open summer theatre…..

While waited to load the bikes on the Ferry,   Ken was busy looking for another cache

A trip up the Bidwell road around Lake Manitou yield another cache While here, Ken & I became playful, must have been the result of finding all the Geo’s

Arriving on 542 Ken was hot on the pursuit of another find… My b…… at work………preparing a fire for tonight

I have made a new friend……this Butterfly has been hanging about my windshield for 15 minutes…..we are presently at the cottage and heading out for dinner…it’s 6:30 and I am hoping I am able to post this at the Restaurant as we have no internet or Tv…….
