Section 2 - Part 1 - Toronto to Curly Rock

Sunrise at Curly Rock

We picked up Chip Gillespie, the newest co-driver on the C2C team, from Toronto airport; he invited us to stay at his family retreat north of Toronto in the Curly Rock Islands. What a place! One cannot believe how ideal it is. It seems that I needed a rest. So in the end we spent two night and then made up the time lost today. The cottage did not have electric or running water. The weather has been so good so we even swam in the lake. It was one of those places that you would like to share with so many people. I got up early this morning and watched the sun come up and if you want to have bath its the lake you have to use. As there was not anyone around it had to be done.

Chip's first encounter with a 2CV

Me with Ralf King of the First Nation of the Ojibwe, he has just lost a very close friend, Ed Williams, to cancer.
