We stopped in Manning for lunch. It was actually pretty decent food. When we left Manning I got totally twisted around and thought Dan was heading in the completely wrong direction. I quickly figured out that he was right and I was wrong. (That happens a lot when it comes to directions. That's why I make him lead.) Between Manning and High Level was pretty uneventful. It was cold and a little windy and wet. (I had my electric gloves on) but that's about it. We stopped 3 more times before we got to Hay River: Indian Cabins, the Border Sign, & Enterprise. We quickly realized that the bugs were getting bigger and more abundant the farther north we got.
I had to look through that for over 60 km until we stopped again for gas. (YUCK) We stopped at the border sign to get some pictures. It was actually really great because we could drive our bikes right up in front of it and get some really great shots.
Just one more thing to note about the trip. The road, for the most part was in decent condition. There were, however, at least 3 very large holes. Its a very good thing that they were very well marked. I think that if we would have hit them, they would have swallowed up our bikes and we would have never been seen again. They were that big.
But we are at Naomi's now and we are safe and warm and dry. And we'll see what tomorrow bring us.
