After the past couple of nights roughing it in Killarney Provincial Park, I decided to treat myself to a night indoors. Ah, yes; The Park–beautiful; but swarming with black flies and mosquitoes. “But what about the tube of Odomos you’re carrying?” I hear you ask. Ah, yes; The Odomos–clearly the company’s R+D team hasn’t visited North Ontario in June.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Despite the bugs, my two-night stay at Killarney gave me a real taste of the wilderness of Ontario–saw Black Bears –twice; some wolf cubs; a turtle; and a raccoon. Ah yes; The Raccoon–little bugger unzipped my tank bag, found the granolla bars I had stashed in there, and threw everything else around the campsite. Never knew raccoons could unzip zippers. And yet, they don’t know how to throw the empty wrappers away.\u200e<\/div>\n

\"A<\/a>

A room with a view — overlooking the lake in Killarney from campsite<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Then, there was the scenery–my campsite was on a cliff overlooking the lake–talk about a room with a view!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Today was just brief ride into Sudbury to get some supplies (damned raccoon); and some minor maintenance on the bike.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\"See<\/a>

See the resemblance?<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Then it was onto Foxy’s On The Lake.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I hadn’t originally planned to stop here. But, with a name like “Foxy’s On the Lake”, you know I just had to come and check it out. Despite imaginations of tarted-up floozies doing the Can-Can, it’s actually just a cabin. Well, not just<\/p>\n
\"Foxy's<\/a>

Foxy’s On The Lake<\/p><\/div>\n

a cabin; it’s rather luxurious B+B cabin on the Sagamok Reserve on the shore of Geogian Bay — the shower has more places for water to spray out than I can count!; the TV gets most US channels; and the wi-fi is flawless.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
That said, being just a cabin, there was no place to get dinner when I pulled in; and the thought of navigating the dirt road I took to get here again was outweighing the need for food. Enter<\/p>\n
\"Archie<\/a>

Archie and Howard<\/p><\/div>\n

Archie and his brother Howard, two neighbors: When I told Archie of my delimma, he ran over to Howard’s place; and Howard shows up with his truck; and the two of them take me back to town to get a bite to eat; and return me to the luxury of Foxy’s. Kinda builds one’s faith in humanity a bit.\u200e<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u200e<\/div>\n
Tomorrow I head toward Thunder Bay.\u200e<\/div>\n
