Day 36 July 5 60km Hot and sunny Wind SW moderate

We rode the Trans-Canada from Shabaqua to Kakabeka Falls and then stopped at the Niagara of the north. The falls were awesome, - the sheer volume of water and the roar of the water leave a lasting impression. One lady I talked to is a local who said she has never seen so much water going over the falls in her life. She was a lot older than me.
We turned south at Stanley and took gravel roads for 15km to Oliver Lake. We arrived at 3pm and the party was in full swing. My cousin Danny lives year round on Oliver lake. Over the years, he has mastered the art of enjoying the lake at it’s best and Saturday was hot and sunny. We ate, drank, swam and watched the fireworks he had saved for the fourth of July (my anniversary). It was a good start to our 4 day layover in Thunder Bay.
