Day 51: Desbarats to Iron Bridge 74km

When we woke this morning there was loud music blasting out from the school which worried us for a second as we thought nobody would be around on a Sunday. Luckily it was just some workmen and they let us use the toilets which was a bonus.
As we haven't has showers for a few days or done any laundry those were our two main objectives for the morning. We headed out and after 12km we found a great little town called Bruce Mines, a big step up from the previous towns in Ontario. We managed to hook up showers, laundry and of course breakfast, ummm. It was my first shower in 3 days so it was amazing. Now I don't need one for another few days. Also every person we met in the town was so nice.
We finally got going and along the way we saw Bear number 3, how mundane, hahaha. This fellow just ran across the road about 10 metres ahead of us. Again though he was two quick for the photo opportunity. Today we didn't fancy a big cycle so we made it to a rest area just off the highway and set up camp for the night. There was a river to wash in, toilets and picnic tables, what more could one ask for in life. I washed myself twice in one day, a rare treat.
