Day 47 Champion > Sand River

Friday > Left Charlotte and Jim fishing and headed out climbed for the first 40km. We have seen numerous deer all along the route but today was my first bear sighting. It loped along the other side of the road and was quite large but seriously not interested in the traffic on the road. I haven’t said anything to Michele as she was a way back and fortunatly hadn’t seen it. I am sure I’d be well and truly on my own from now on if she’d seen it. Jim had spotted it the day before when he had driven into town. We have been lucky not to come across one before. We made it to a town called Marquette by lunch and after some long days Michele stayed in town with the kids and I carried on for the afternoon. The ride was beautiful along a shoreline path. I should point out that the Shore is just the same as we would see in Europe – white sandy beaches and glorious blue waters. Hard to believe this is a Lake and not a sea.  We all meet up for a gorgeous seafood supper.

Weather sunny and warm
