2011-09-14 Thunder Bay - Terry Fox

Wednesday

Temperature dropped during the night and the LP ran out. With extra blankets and an electric heater we managed to get back to sleep. Even Buffy stopped shivering!

We drove out hwy 17 north to the Terry Fox Memorial. Terry had cancer, had already lost a leg but decided to run across Canada to give others hope. He managed to cross through five provinces before the he became to ill to continue. The highway was named in his honor and a large wayside overlook and memorial has been built.

Tomorrow we’ll head down hwy 61 and into Minnesota.
