Goderich rest day!
24 miles
Grand total milage: 394.1 miles!

Goderich, the prettiest town in Ontario has a lot of character! The town is set around an octagon with the city court house in the center. Shops line the street around the "square" and there is a perpetual market going on in the center around the court house.
In Goderich, we camped for one night at the Provincial Park and we were astounded by the prices! Ontario is super expensive (36.75) for a non-electric rustic site! The next morning, the ranger informed us that our site was already reserved and they were full so we would have to move! We thought about continuing on, but Goderich is such pretty town and after days and days of cycling, our boodies get sore! So we just cycled a few miles North and stopped at a private campground called Lake Huron Resort. There the price was a little better $28.00 for a rustic site. In Goderich, there is an old railroad converted to a hiking trail that goes on a long bridge walk over a river. We also explored the lakefront, salt mining area, took lots of photographs, and checked out the market in the center of town. In the market, a lady was selling wall hangings with motivational words like, "love, joy, family." Each letter was a black and white photograph of something natural in nature. For example, the l in Love was a dandelion a the o was a zoomed in photograph of a sunflower. I love this idea and I spent much of the evening trying to photograph my own letters in nature.
In ending this post, we send you our love and hopes that you are enjoying nature!
