| Turning off the Trans-Canada |

| Geese on a small lake |
Today was another early start, getting on the road at 10 to eight after adjusting Susie’s bike seat. The morning started off cool enough for jackets and warmed up as the sun got stronger. We were in Deep River before 8 am, and stopped there for coffee and a breakfast wrap. Initially the road rolled up and down but quite gently. Later it got flatter and straighter. At Pembroke we turned off the Trans-Canada and onto B Line Road. What a treat! The traffic dropped off and the running surface was smoother. I think that I will send a comment to the Minister of Highways about the deplorable condition of our national highway. From B Line to Hwy 41 and then Eganville, where we stopped at the Foodliner on the way into town. While resting at the picnic tables beside the store, we talked to some employees and then to Mike the owner. After discussing our travel plans, Mike suggested calling ahead to the Swiss Inn in Denbigh to reserve a room, which we had discussed earlier. Mike called the number on his cell phone and got nothing. He then went into the store and called information, who had no listing for them. After discussing the options, we decided to stay in Eganville and make a longer day tomorrow. We’ll have had lots of time to rest because we checked into the Pine Tree Motel in the early afternoon.
