      Momma always said...

      14 de junho de 2023, Canadá ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      ...that one day it might happen.

      I guess that day's today.

      Momma...I got me a friend.

      ...

      Sitting outside the Royal Canadian Legion in Massey munchin' on my luncheon, when a bike tourer wheels by complete with "TIBET" number plate and flag. He didn't stop to chat but headed for a nearby coffee shop. The weirdly sociable Rick that's been germinating inside me decided to head over to say hello.

      Sangyal's taken time out from protesting outside the Chinese embassy of Toronto to complete his second cross-Canada tour raising awareness for the Free Tibet campaign. Within minutes I had heard the campaign brief, had been given the leaflet, had read the t-shirt and...had a new cycling buddy - woohoo!

      We headed on up to Blind River, since iOverlander (awesome community-driven app for hobo/nomad travellers) suggested there might be some free showers up there and a possible stealth camping site. The showers turned out to be not as free as reported, but after crossing the harbour master's palm with $3 we freshened up and mulled over camp spots while I offered to cook-up dinner.

      After an hour of attempting to cook two full bowls of Jambalaya on a single Trangia by alternatingly each pan for 10mins (what I now know to be a terrible idea) Sangyal got bored of waiting and went for pizza. Knowing my own appetite after a day's cycling I understood.

      Dinners done, and with prior warning from Captain Birdseye that security patrol the marina and so they'd be no camping there, we waited till dusk and headed hopeful towards the nearby municipal park.

      Sangyal's interpretation of stealth camping differed somewhat to mine. As I whispered a goodnight call to Mart, fearful of alerting the neighbours to our presence, Sangyal had erected a 3 meter Dalai Lama banner, Canadian and Tibetan bunting, and traditional song was blaring from his phone. Suddenly I find I'm being streamed on Facebook Live, interviewed, and loudly cheering along with calls to "Free Tibet"!

      There goes any possibility of a future Chinese visa.

      Ein Ereignis das keiner braucht

      18 de julho de 2023, Canadá ⋅ 🌙 16 °C

      Wir haben uns auf Manitoulin Island richtig wohl gefühlt und es war schön, die Insel weiter zu erkunden.

      Leider gibt es wenige Campgrounds als auch kaum Möglichkeiten frei zu stehen.

      Selbst über Harvest Hosts gibt es nur eine einzige Möglichkeit.

      Wir sind nach ein paar Tagen wieder zurück aufs Festland gefahren und wurden von einem Ereignis eingeholt, daß uns durch Mark und Bein ging.

      Kurz vor dem Ort Espanola lief uns ein junger Schwarzbär direkt in den Willi. Keine 2m ist der Bär vor der Motorhaube aufgetaucht und wollte über die Straße rennen.

      Das hat er leider mit seinem Leben bezahlen müssen und uns tut das so leid um ihn.

      Jedoch lässt sich bei Tempo 80 kein Fahrzeug binnen 2m stoppen oder gar ausweichen.

      Der Schock saß tief.

      Es waren hinter uns zwei Officer (nicht Polizei), die uns sofort zur Hilfe standen und uns beruhigten. Sie erklärten uns, dass dieser Abschnitt oft von Bären gequert wird.

      Letztendlich konnten wir unsere Fahrt einfach fortsetzen, um den Bären auf der Straße haben die beiden sich gekümmert.

      Der Schaden am Willi ist marginal. Uns tut der Bär leid und wir hoffen, er bekommt eine schöne Wolke nach dem Regenbogen im Himmel.

      Wir sind dann erst einmal weiter zu einem Harvest Hosts Platz um uns von dem Schock etwas zu erholen.

      Unsere ganze Gefühlswelt gibts auf YouTube:

      Chutes Provincial Park

      27 de julho de 2019, Canadá ⋅ 🌧 20 °C

      Chutes Provincial Park - this place is AWESOME!

      This park is named for its history of being part of the logging industry. There is a great set of falls right on the main beach that used to have a huge wooden log chute to help send logs down the river way back when so they wouldn't jam up. Now, the falls offer a beautiful view and a super fun swimming area.

      Starting from the beach you swim out and the water is deep enough that you can't touch until all of a sudden you hit a random sandbar where you could lay your towel out and suntan. If you keep swimming, you come close to the falls where the current is strong enough (but not dangerous) to gently float you all the way back to the beach or if you're adventurous, around the bend through some almost rapids where you get spit out at the dog beach!

      The dog beach itself was just as good as the public beach! Not only did Charlie successfully learn how to swim, he also learned how to float on the current down the river with us :) This beach had a great mix of shallow and deep swimming spots, rocks to swim out and relax on and yet a decently fast flowing current to keep things exciting. We had a laugh when we saw a group of young kids who had turned a dirt hill into a mud slide and went splashing into the river. Next time, we're trying it out for sure.

      This park has a great hiking trail called "Twin Bridges Trail". A 6km hike with stunning views that let's you see three of the famous "seven sisters falls". The pictures can explain the rest :)
