Day 24 English River to Shabaqua

"Headed east on seventeen" (Blue Rodeo)

Our next logical stopping place after English River Inn would be Shabaqua at 125 km; Thunder Bay would be a bit too much. Today we started out with no rain and only a little bit of headwind;, and some sun. The ride to Upsala was a lot of funding with some ups and downs then we ran into some long straight flat stretches, which were not so interesting. We saw a couple of interesting sign posts and are showing them in the pictures. 

Ice cream question for grandchildren. When we rode past the first sign post I seem to have lost an hour because the time on the cell phone went from 2:30 to 3:30 in an instant. Can you help Boppa find the hour he lost?  

A bit further on we saw a sign describing where the water goes. There will be another question tomorrow. The water scene is in front of the English River Inn. 

Generally speaking the big trucks have been good and have given us decent space. This afternoon one guy who was in the opposing lane slowed down and put his right tires on the gravel shoulder so that another semi could pull over as he passed us. We also saw our first westbound bicyclists; two young women who were unfortunately dressed in dark clothing that didn't stand out well at all.
