Now you know way we all said to stay far away from Toronto. There is no rush hour because it's ALWAYS rush hour.

I remember heading over from Wheaton in 2007 for the first CFR. East over from Sarnia, then north on 400 on a Friday evening towards Huntsville. Now that was a party lol! Thanks to Tom Cale for rooming with this lost Yankee and also showing him around along with Dave Dykes, and others. The 500 series roads were awesome at impound speeds...the 400 out of Toronto at night, not so much. Lol.

Worst ride day of the trip - Interstate out of Niagara Falls, terrible traffic, didn't relax until late afternoon on ON 6. 262 miles 7.2 hours riding, 2.5 hours off the bike.

As one can easily discern, Spotwalla didn't report my position today? I queried Jason about it, he revealed that Garmin MapShare didn't have my positions either. When I shut off the InReach Mini this evening it showed that we had traveled 210 GPS Miles and was on for 10 hours. I emailed Garmin for some help, like anyone works there on the weekend. I was able to send my position from the InReach to mapshare and it does show up on Spotwalla.




As mentioned above, we got off our intended route, ended up on the damn interstate in a stopped for miles traffic jumble all the way through Hamilton. It was a cluster %$#@!

Tomorrow we take the ferry to South Baymouth, Manitoulin Island, ON then ride to Sault St Marie, MI for the evening. Sunday we ride several objectives and end up in Ludington MI for a ferry ride on the SS Badgerm the last coal fired vessel in commercial service in the USA.

Stay tuned...
Too bad.... There a few locals that could of helped with routing.
