Well, I think I must have come in contact with this lovely ugly while pulling weeds on my brother’s farm. The day after I left him, I broke out with blisters on both legs. If you read about it on the internet, it sounds like what I have. I have not been off the trail here in Canada. It reacts to sun so I have bandaids covering it. Itches like heck. Stopped today at a pharmacy and they told me what to do. It is better but not going away. Darn it.
I can not believe how noisy last nite’s campground was. The Canada 403 wasn’t too far away and it was constant traffic all day and nite. Trains went by every few minutes.
Again, today, the trail was elusive. I went from real nice path to road to gravel to what they called ‘natural’, which means native vegetation and tall grass. At one point while on a gravel section., I came to T intersection, no sign and one way went into the woods with tall grass and the other led to a highway. No signs. Oh, my gosh. I am considering getting on the hiway and staying there.
My campground destination from the day before was another 40+ miles. So glad I didn’t go on. But when I got there today, there were no sites left, at noon, so I had to go further. Ended up in a really nice campground out in the boonies, hence, no Wi-Fi again so this is late.
Part of the route today was on the lake shore road. Nice, rural, quiet road, but, oh, so rough. All chip seal with patches of chip seal not smoothed out and just rougher than neck. But quiet. Two railroad crossings were interesting. I got off and walked because the ties were rotted and it was rough. Really needed some repair work. This road must not be used much is all I can say.
Interesting thing I have noticed here in Canada. Something one of the locals call an endangered species. The phone booth. They are everywhere and I don’t remember seeing a single one in the states. A lady told me some are set up so you can text on them. Unreal!
Another oddity here is the black squirrel. Never seen those before either. Haven’t seen a red or brown one at all.

I’ll bet it is poison ivy. There is some where you pulled weeds which is exactly why I don’t pull the weeds. I hope it gets better quick.
