Travel Log: Day 2

The second day of driving started off brigt and early again! Well, it was still dark out but it was really early! We left around 6h00AM (EST) to avoid getting stuck in the Ottawa traffic and on our way out of town we stopped i for a coffee with my cousin Mireille. We couldn't find the right Tim Horton's so we ended up at a McDonalds and my cousin joined. After all that cat and mouse chase and hello-goodbyes, we headed back on the high road around 7h30.

Today's drive was a lot more interesting since the fog lifted early in the morning and we had nothing but clear skies and sunshine afterward. Once we got past Pembrooke, the scenery was awesome for a few hours: thick colored woods everywhere and big lakes all around.

"Time for some reflection on life in Mattawa"

We stopped at a rest stop outside North Bay for some lunch and after my belly was full of good food I felt courageous enough to try my luck at a public washroom. Uuugghh, the flushing water consisted of whatever was dumped at the bottom of the black hole... My entire lunch almost came back up the way it went in.... Groosssss-aaa!

We continued making our way through northern Ontario and we started get bored so we stopped at a RV dealership to check out their inventory. That stop turned out to be a really good one since we traded both of our cars straight up for this wicked Winnebago:

"The Flying Saucer"

Ok that's a lie but I did stay at a Holiday Inn. Lie again! However I DID kiss a buffalo's nuts... 'Nuff said

"Balls of Steel Baby!"

We finally made to my relative's house in Hearst at about 7h00pm, just in time for a quick supper and Prison Break. We are pretty beat from being on the road for close to 12hrs and on this note I say:

Good evening and good night!

Note: Desert Storm achieved another milestone today by rolling on its 335,000th km towards the end of the day. Go car!!

Distance traveled: 1050km
