Day 38: Kenora to Caliper Lake 127km

Today we saw more wildlife than we have on the whole trip so far. The main highlight of the morning ride was that we saw a Bear. We were 10km outside of Sioux Narrows where we had planned to stop for lunch when Agnes heard a rustle in the bushes and saw it and as we cruised by a huge Black Bear came out of the bushes and crossed the road. If we had been a few seconds later we would have come face to face with it. The bear wasn't interested in us at all and just turned his head away as he crossed the road so we weren't in any danger but it was a great rush. The Black Bear was a lot bigger than I had expected. On today's ride we saw plenty more wildlife including 5 deer, 2 foxes and a snake. Unfortunately we don't have any pictures as it is always as we are flying past and not when we have already stopped. If we did stop the animals would have disappeared by the time we could get the cameras out anyway. I thought it best that we kept on moving when we saw the Bear as you don't want to push your luck with a creature that dangerous.
The rest of the day went very well and we found the days riding a lot easier than the past couple of days as we didn't go quite as far but still far enough I feel. When we arrived at our campground for the night we were very happy as it was a provincial park campground and is better suited to tents. The site was on the edge of a lake in the woods and was without a doubt the best campsite we have been to. We had an amazing spot on the edge of the Lake with an amazing view and to the right was a beach and small park area which was perfect. Also the site was quiet and you really felt at one with nature.
