Tuesday, May 22. Today is Denise's birthday. She walked 26 kms north on Highway 69 to Pointe Au Baril Station. They parked at a Information building for the night.
Wednesday, May 23. Today Denise was met on the road by her dad & mom, Bill & Ruth Orr. When she reached the bridge where Highway 69 crosses the Magnetawan River, the walking was done for the day. It was a big day completing 30.4 kms. They stayed the night at Grundy Lake Provincial Park. This was a nostalgic few days, for Denise's family has many fond memories of camping here when they lived in Sudbury. Check out Ruth's blog to see photos of Denise and her dad walking together.
Thursday, May 24. This turned out to be a rest and repair day. The door on the RV fell apart. Denise's dad was there to save the day and make the necessary repairs. They stayed another night at Grundy Lake.
Friday, May 25. Today they got a late start at the walking, so Denise only covered 17.6 kms. However, Denise was very thankful for the encouragement from her dad & mom. They headed home while she continued her walk north west to the town of Cranberry. Today she broke the 400 mark. This night they parked under a railway bridge.
