July 14 Update

Good morning. Since we are spending some time at Pat and Ben's, I've been able to update the blog and add photos to some of the earlier posts (July 5th and later). I was also able to fix the birthday photo of Ashley and her Dad. The earlier photo was grainy and had red-eye.

I added a special photo for you, Karen and Janet (July 5).

To date, I've logged over 3300 km on my GPS, and we are roughly halfway through the trip. We'll take the train from Winnipeg to Parry Sound on July 17th to avoid the "Trans Canada Trail" above the Great Lakes, which we have heard nothing good about.

We haven't sorted out which route we'll take when we get to Parry Sound. The map below shows a southern option. We can also take a more northerly route.
