    August 18, 2021. This is the Bay of Quinte, a long narrow inlet that separates Prince Edward County from the mainland. I cycled here - about 60 km - along the Cataraqui Trail and then through Napanee and over the very large bridge. I had a rough night ...

    August 16, 2021. This is a sign I put up today. I saved a bunch of signs from the last election and so got them out today for the new election. I didn't think we needed this election now, but I do love elections. We also went to the city for shopping a...

    August 15, 2021. The missing cable has been found! It was located at my Day 2 campsite. Today we drove out to the site and picked it up. So now I'm preparing to get back out on the trail, picking up where I left off, but with a less ambitious route. So...

    August 13, 2021. The view from my train window felt like the antithesis of my previous week. It basically took all day to travel from Kingston back to Casselman by train. Kingston isn't that far from Ottawa, but viewed differently, it's quite far. http...

    August 10, 2021. My camp site was supposed to be beside a beaver pond. I found the Beavers, but the camp was itself inaccessible. So I found a spot by the trail across from the pond and the Beavers and I spent a pleasant evening together, joined later ...

    August 9, 2021. After a 70 km slog on 30 degree heat I arrived exhausted late afternoon. The park itself is a gem, the campsites large and spread out. I had The. Best. Shower. Ever. Lots of bugbites. I won't lie: this is hard. https://flic.kr/p/2mgfVHr
