The guy in the next room must be big and dirty because he took a long time to shower. The good news is that he got us started 45mins early than the alarm and we were on the road well before 7:00am. There was a couple of steepish hills , but generally rolling. We ran into 5km of good gravel road, which brought some
memories back, but all went well. Several little places had grain silos, but really nothing much more to report before the lunch stop in Cadillac where we ate cold pizza on the church steps.
More trucks on the road in the afternoon with mixed loads, half oil industry related, the rest
of it was agri business. Some were very large.
At 95km the two shops where we could buy cold drinks were closed for lunch, so we sucked it up and pushed on to Kincaid.
The day was warming up nicely as we got into Kincaid (named after an engineer on the railway) and photographed the two grain silos and went into the general store and chatted to Trudi the librarian, Cindy the Mayor 
and Debbie. We were soon set up for tenting by the lodge, and wifi-ing from the library.
Note that official camping and the hotel are closed in this community.
Dinner was taken in the local bar, which is doing ok in a converted church. We spent our evening there talking with the local lads. It was a very enjoyable time but we drank too much. Had to get up in the night.
Weather for tomorrow is going to be hot, so it will be another very early start..

Glad to see your daily distance has rebounded. Make sure to take the rest days when you need them and get to bed early.
ReplyDeleteAll your friends at the playreading this evening were pleased to hear of your progress, and gobsmacked at the total distance covered.
