Day 2: Sault Ste Marie to Thunder Bay
Set out at 7:30am on Monday  morning to head to Thunder Bay. It was  a good day, about 9 hours riding 699km.
Stopped at a couple look out points and provintial parks.

Arrived in Thunder Bay about 5:30pm. at my first Couch Surfing Host's place. Richard, had a pot of chili ready for me when I arrived and made Bacon and eggs for me in the morning. We chatted a little and took his dog Oliver for a walk around the block. One of Richards favorite places is Glacier National Park in Montana which is one of the places I will be visiting throught my trip.





Day 3: Thunder Bay to Cooperstown, North Dakota
Set out at 9am (Eastern Time) Daily total - 874km.
Crossed the border to USA at Pigeon Road Border Crossing around 9am (Central Time). Got pulled into secondary, they just asked me a few questions and checked out my bike and sent me on my way, no unpacking or and searching so was a pretty smooth sailing cross over.
I stopped at Two Harbors and took some pictures of the light house, I wanted to take my bike all the way out on to the boardwalk by the light house but didn't think it would be a good idea with all the people around.
Was a very long day with 12.5 hrs on the road reaching my cousin's house in Cooperstown, ND around 8:30 (Central Time). Their dogs Rip and Spook greated me like they never forgot me from when I was there back in '09.

Day 4: First day in North Dakota with Family


Slept in untill about 9:30am had a dish for breakfast called Egg Bake that was very tasty.
My cousin Nick came by in his Polaris Ranger RZR (Razer). We took a cruise around in the Razer and visited some family around town. My other Cousin came on a borrowed Harley to say hello. Then we went to the local Country Club Golf Course in Cooper for some Steaks and Chops with the fam.
Then Nick and I went to Hanaford (a local town) for some Fourth of July fireworks, bon fire and beer (water beer...lol)
