Trippin’ Around North America

Sturgeon Falls to Ottawa

September 22

Good weather, crummy roads. The Trans Canada Highway as we know it disappeared sometime during the day. It was a pleasant drive as far as small towns and countryside was concerned, but the road surface disappointed. The road must have a poor base and needs to be completely redone. Only about 30 km's west of Ottawa did it get decent.

We arrived into the camp at about 2:00. Nicely situated in a wooded area with much privacy between the very few that are still touring. 15 or 20 in a camp that holds 150.

The priorities this afternoon were, a laundry, a haircut, a few groceries, and an early night. We have been on the road too long without a break, I for one, am looking forward to a lazy morning before a short ride to Ottawa and some city sightseeing at a leisurely pace.

We will be here for two days we think. Periodically we look at our progress and what we have yet to do and wonder whether we have enough time to do the circuit in the time allotted at the pace we like.
