Day 6 espanola to Temiskaming

 We tied one on a bit at Espanola but see up and in the road shortly after 8. The sound from the local pulp and paper mill was deafening. Northern living is definitely a different way of living. 

The route to Temiskaming was an asphalt burner. Got there early, dropped our panniers and kitted up with gear for an exploratory ride of the route we were scheduled to ride tomorrow. Quickly realized over 100 k of silty gravel logging road was not going to be 1…..enjoyable and 2……certainly not enjoyable for one of our riders on a bike with bald tires. 

Dan hadn’t had enough of our 4 hour plus ride so we ventured down a tributary of trail for a bit. Small tip over when turning around when…enough was enough….time for food and beverages. Hard to believe only one more night and a couple more days. Seems every day brings a surprise of one sort or another.
