km today: 92-ish
total km: ?
We were greeted on the road by a fierce headwind; the strongest we've had since heading to Swift Current. Coupled with the winds, we were averaging downwards of 12km/h. Due to an overestimation of our physical fitness we decided we didn't have to leave till until 1:00pm in attempting to cover the 104km to Terrace Bay (our originaly planned destination). Considering that Terrace Bay is not in the title of this blog, we clearly changed our plans.
Along with the headwinds, there was plenty of notable scenery that kept us from making it to Terrace Bay. Included in our sightings was a red fox which we immediately scared off by yelling at each other "Look a Lynx!" The sightings that we did capture on film are as follows:
First good peak at Lake Superior.
Rocky cliffs in the background. Some dork eating peanuts in the foreground.
A "superior" pose.
Inferior pose (Brandon's idea).
First real hills since B.C.
Checking the wind direction (note the grass blowing the exact opposite direction that we were heading).
Sudden lake-born fog (and yes, this was the same day and the pictures are in sequential order).
This whole segment of the highway was literally carved out of the landscape. 
Katie riding. Brandon playing in traffic.
More hills. More fog.
Misty lake.
Wildflowers lying just in front of the lake from the picture above.
Like we said, we started late. B&K
