Sandi and Lewis' ride across Canada

Day 38-Wawa, Ontario White Lake Provincial Park to Wawa Distance: 129km Temp: 27 and raining I was woken up at about 4:30 am by the distant rumblings of thunder and the light pitter-pat of rain on our tent.

But they have volunteers who cook for them the whole way, and supply lunch along the way as well. A few of us have considered converting just for the food-I’d say it’d be worth it. We notice that some strangers are especially nice to us-like overly nice, and we finally figured out that we were being mistaken for the Bible Bikers-but we d...
