Day 39. London to Brantford, Ontario
Nice day, country roads, warm with a high of 83. We had cross winds most of the day we occasional head winds. We didn't get on the road until 0830 due to only having to go 70 miles. The terrai was mostly rolling with no big climbs. Lots of crops including green beans, soybeans, corn, asparagus,cabbage, tobacco, and ginseng. The town of Brantford was named after an Indian chief named Brant. He wa part of the Six Nation Indian tribe in NY. He brought the tribe he to Brant's ford and the rest is history. Other people who have lived here are Alexander Graham Bell, Tonto (Jay Silverheels) and Wayne Gretzky. Today we ride to Niagra Falls and have our 5th and final rest day.i've never been and am looking forward to it.

Susan,
ReplyDeleteAug 8th. Today's the day. Welcome home!!
Well almost home.... you still have to get up tomorrow morning and hitch a ride on a plane to reach your real home. You've accomplished something that most of us would not even consider in our heads let alone doing with our bodies. We are proud of you. See you soon.
Love to you,
Faith & Dwight
