"Ontario? Are You Nuts?"
I waited until 2 pm for the rain to stop so that I could shake everything out. It didn't make any difference seeing as how all the laundry I had meticulously washed and dried on the line and folded and put away... was now wet. My pack took on about another 8 lbs just from the cloths and the blankets.
I was afraid my tent would get moldy but I've found a nice dry spot tonight so it should dry by morning. I've found that my belt can move in another 2 notches easily. Though I can't see a change in my pot-belly. I walked in wet shoes, wet pants and sweater all the way into Brookfield, where the Tim Hortons has no where to sit. This is a first. I never believed that I could find a town so smll that it's Timmy's has no chairs.
I also stopped at the Brookfield Golf & Country Club where I was permitted a shower. Very nice people. I was invited into a flop-house by some kids my age & given a beer. We talked a bit about my walk and I played a couple tunes on my guitar. Sarah was the only one who introduced herself. There was one guy who kept repeating: "Ontario, man you gotta be nuts!"
Everyone was freaking out that the cops were going to crash their little get-together so I figured it was best to leave. I found this place easily enough, so I'm just gonna crash and maybe get an early start in the morning. I'll hit Turo tomorrow if I'm smart.
