Day 9, September 7, Sunday

They ended up in Mattawa, Ontario, Canada tonight. Not sure of the miles they did. They decided they have had enough of 2 track roads and the French and will head back to the states tomorrow and into Michigan. They are headed back to the West Coast, by way of Glacier National Park.

They had a bit of an incident today. Well, more then a bit, but as Terry said, "We aren't bleeding and we are standing, so it is ok". What happened was, As they were getting ready to turn right to get on an on ramp, Terry was leading, after turning caught a red light and managed to stop 10-15' over the line before rolling it on up the onramp. Unfortunately, in the time it took Mark to check traffic for himself, had his head turned and did not see Terry power down to a stop. And there we have the unfortunate accident of Mark swerving to avoid Terry but his left side luggage hit the back of Terry and they both went down.

Both are ok, but had to assess some bike damage and Mark left behind his left bag, unable to attach it.

Some rattled nerves, but again, both are ok.

So, some advil, hot showers, a good night sleep and they will continue on with a new day.


Since my cell phone decided to dive into a bucket of water this morning, it is out of commission for a couple of days, hopefully drying out, so until then they or you can contact me by landline at home or at work.
