The tent and some of my stuff that got wet from the rain last night are not dried yet. \u00a0Luckily the campsite has laundry with dryer, but unfortunately it takes only loonies which I don\u2019t have, and there is no one around awake \ud83d\ude41 \u00a0So I just packed everything wet and moved on.
\nI went back to Wawa to put gas as I was very low on gas and Wawa was the closest place with gas station.
\nThen I decided to go to potholes national reserve for a visit. It was interesting how stones are formed over long time during the glacier time.<\/p>\n

Then I decided to go through Algoma route, via 101 and then 129. Which ended up being over 200km of nothing but logging and very few other things that didn\u2019t interest me. There were only two very old gas stations which I decided to pass.<\/p>\n

At some point I just stopped on the side of the road to rest and take some pictures.<\/p>\n

Later on I got to very awesome and winding road which I was enjoying so much that didn\u2019t bother to stop to setup the camera to record. I would recommend any rider that passes near the area, to try the section of 129, between the intersections with 554 and 556. It is well worth it. \u00a0And after that more nice road through mountains.
\nThen my gas indicator started blinking, The next closest gas station about 40km. So I was riding about 40km with gas indicator blinking and when I put gas, I still had close to 4 liters of gas left in the tank.
\nSince tomorrow is going to be rain and thundershower, I decided to get a cabin again, this time KOA at Sault Ste Marie. Got some food from grocery store on the way for dinner.
\nI ended up getting the annual membership from KOA, so I have to get their cabins few times with-in next year to worth the membership.
\nThe plan for tomorrow is to leave early to try avoid the rain and head for KOA in North Bay.<\/p>\n

The weather forcast for next day does not look good, so I have to get a cabin, but neither of KOA North Bay and Parry Sound had any available for the night. \u00a0So I decided to just cut the trip short and ride straight home, \u00a0On the way stopped at gravenhurst and then home.<\/p>\n

Now I checked the weather for North Bay area and it is all sunny \ud83d\ude41 but it’s too late now!<\/p>\n
