Northern Ontario Day1 Sept 7 15

 

Four Hardy Bikers left McDonald’s in Gravenhurst at 7am heading to Port Loring, 2 hours north our 1st stop for Breakfast.day 1 2015 002 Jake’s Cafe……..but not before, I had the group ( Frank, Rick and Ken ) turn around and backtrack wondering where I may have gone off the road. I had disappeared from the their sight shortly before  Port Loring.day 1 2015 001    No tragedy, I had stopped to snap this pic.

Continuing on 522 after Breakfast we enjoyed twisty hard top out to 69N at Grundy Prov Park…….where we gassed up and headed North. About 40 miles from Sudbury we found ourselves diving into our rain gear and continued on to Sudbury into dry but overcast conditions. Third stop was at the turn to Espanola where we ran into friends Eric & Denise on their bikes heading home from Manitoulin Isl. ( Small World ) day 1 2015 003  At Spanish, we pulled into this place for lunch feasting on fries hot dogs, ham/chicken burgers…….Ken’s mouth was watering for an ice cream cone afterwards but didn’t have room for it……a small was huge.

We cut of 17 at 108 ( Deer Run ) heading to Dunlop Lodge N of Elliott Lake. I had reserved a cabin for our 1st night.day 1 2015 006  It  didn’t have beds for all of us without doubling up….but as one might expect no takers….so we optioned another cabin with 3 bedrooms with moi getting the folding cot and taking over the living room.   day 1 2015 004  day 1 2015 005 day 1 2015 010 day 1 2015 011 We enjoyed a great afternoon of Sunny hot weather…..so over a beer or 2 we had plenty of time to relax as we arrived at 2;30pm….dinner was excellent after which we retired for the night…….

next we will try to get beyond White River home town of Winnie-the-Pooh.
