Bonfield to Petawawa

Rain plagued the riders yesterday and Olin and I literally drove through low lying clouds on the highway.  We saw lots of trees, huge rock outcrop pings and then the beautiful Ottawa River.  Lots of long climbs  for our guys today.  Yikes!  We had lunch ready for them at Stonecliffe.  Thankfully the rain had let up and the bugs were not too bad.  After lunch we stopped at a boat ramp and Olin played with a stick in the water.  Just before our arrival into Petawawa, Olin fell asleep.  Then I could not find the hotel!  It had been a long day, believe it or not.  The riders were waiting for us when we arrived.  There was a nice park with a beach across the road and Olin spent some time skipping some flat pieces of bark with his new-found friend.  Happiness!  This morning the boys got away at 7:30 in brilliant sunshine.  Olin and I found a little more breakfast and h started his sticker book.  We are meeting John and Gail for lunch near Quyon.  We are pretty sure the road is open.
