Penn Lake to Dryden, getting back in the groove

Lots of open road today

After a good night's rest for both of us, we covered more ground today towards the west. 

We've never seen this sign on a washroom door before. There was a corresponding one for males next door:


I guess it says the washroom is female priority, but anyone in need can use it.

The pond in front of our campsite was very calm this morning. It would have been easy to see the beaver that lives around here, but we only saw the stumps of small trees it (or they) had cut down. 

The van front pointed this way, so we had this view from inside the van with our morning coffee. It was 11C outside, so we stayed inside:


I don't want to make a big deal about the construction, but it's a fact of life on these roads this time of year. Passage was quick and easy once again:


Drilling for blasting to straighten the road later

Could be a dirty job, depending on the wind

Shots of the fairly new cable-stayed bridge at Ignace: 

3 towers, off in the distance



We stopped at a marker for the Arctic Watershed today. It's about 5km east of the divide between Eastern and Central time zones:


 

 

We covered more miles today than in the earlier days this trip. Cath says I don't look like death-warmed-over now at the end of the day. 

I expect that's a good thing. :))

Actual distance was about 660 km today. We arrived at the Dryden Walmart about 4pm CDT (Central Daylight Time).
