Day 2 had us traveling from Wheatley Provincial Park, where my phone was stolen, to Dutton, where we stayed at an RV / trailor park. We were welcomed enthusiastically and provided with burgers for dinner, and free ice cream.
On our trip today, we saw probably 300 wind turbines, all turning in indication of the headwind that we were fighting all day. Those are just huge machines. We also passed a lot of solar panels, and maybe 15 oil wells, many of them producing. Didn't see any nuclear plants though.
We had breakfast in camp (banana bread and granola bars), and didn't stop for lunch until 1:30 or so, near a Provincial park (Rondoleux, or something like that). Most people were pretty interested in what we were doing, and we had some nice conversation. Dinner was 7:30 in camp but we ate quite a bit of snacks in between.
`
We found a nice little shop/cafe, called the Crazy 8 Barn, and the welcomed us, asked us to sign the guest book, gave us free WiFi, filled our water bottles and talked to us about biking. Very cool place! We met a guy that stopped there, that was thru-biking from Oregon to the East coast. Bob has a journal on-line, which is part of the Crazy Guy On A Bike thing. Nice chat with him. Unfortunately when pulling into the place, I managed to dump my bike and banged up my left knee, and put a gash in my right calf. I think it'll be okay, but the knee still hurts when I start riding.
Tomorrow we have another day of around 80 miles, and then the days get shorter for the rest of the tour. Yay!
