August 8th-9th, 2010

This morning we thanked Lorrain and Guylaine and went on our way.  We rode to Val-d’Or to stock up on food.  We met a man named Ralph at the grocery store who spoke English.  He’s a retired school teacher and told us that it is rare to find English speaking people up in these parts.




We stopped at a small village called Senneterre to take a nap



We woke up and had supper at a park then rode for 40 km and camped on a logging road



The next morning we continued riding along highway 113 and pulled over on an abandoned railway bed to have lunch



We rode into a small town called Chibougamau to top off our fuel tanks and had poutine at McDonald’s



A bee flew up my sleeve and stung me. 



We stumbled upon a free campsite south of Chibougamau



We ate some of the hazelnuts Lorrain had given us.  He warned us about worms hiding inside.




We watched the sunset over a few cups of wine


569 km







Bee stings in defense.

A worm burrows for refuge.

Wine solves all problems.
