Quick update after day one....

This will have to quick with no pictures unfortunately.

After leaving home on Sunday morning I put about 1000kms on the bike. I arrived a small resort/camp on the North Shore of Lake Superior in a place call Batchawana.
Left early this morning and drove through Lake Superior Provincial Park all along the north shore and I am now at a small info kiosk at Terrace Bay, borrowing the computer from the girls so that I can do a quick checkin.

There is no cellphone coverage up here for me and very little internet access.

The North Shore of Lake Superior is beautiful country. Very very rugged. Great coastline. Lots of trees. Great great roads.

Saw my first bear this morning as I was leaving Wawa. It was a fairly good size black bear. He was sitting in the grass about 15-20 feet from the road. I went by and then turned around to see if I could get a picture, but as I was fumbling try to get my camera and trying very hard to keep the bike from falling over he just made his way into the bushes.
Met a Ontario Provinical Police officer this morning when filling up with fuel and he made a point of coming over to me to let me know that the moose have been very active lately.

I do not plan on riding at night but they are also around at dusk and dawn.

Bike is unbelievable. Perfect riding with 600km range per tank. Perfect for me since my range (until bathroom time is easily 800km;-)
Bike is very heavy when it is fully loaded with fuel (it holds almost 9 gallons). I think in total the bike is more than 600lbs.

Days are getting longer (doesnt get dark until almost 10) so I am going to try and get to Manitoba border by end of day.

Thats it for now.
