Port Dover to Ridge Way Ontario 71 miles, 3036 miles from the Pacific and another great day to be on the bike. I go through the harbor towns along the north side of Lake Erie. The water is bright blue with sailboats bobbing at their mornings. It reminds me a little of New England. The day is cool with big puffy clouds overhead and a light breeze at my back.
Willie and I right past fields of sunflowers and huge barns with solar panels. Green energy is serious business here in Ontario. White and yellow water lilies fill the ponds next to the road. I stopped for lunch at Long Beach and have a picnic in the sand and take a relaxing walk on the beach. See photos.

I finally catch the two riders that are also going to Bar Harbor. I have been hearing about them for the last couple days. We chat for a while and talk about camping together tonight. Both of them started in Seattle and found each other a couple weeks ago. Paul is a retired CPA, and Alex is a engineering student at the UW Madison and hails from Minneapolis. In the late afternoon I pull into the campsite and set up camp happy. Paul and Alex arrive about an hour later. I go for a swim, eat some cold chicken out of my food bag, and then crawl in my tent for the night.
Take care, freebird
