Where is "Restoule" and Why Can't I Pronounce it?

This will be another time delayed post. It appears we have even less phone coverage here than at Pancake Bay.

This stay has been the absolute polar opposite to our previous leg. The rain stopped as we were leaving Sault Ste. Marie and it got hot. Bloody hot! Since we didn't have a cache for 250km during the trip, we enjoyed the effects of air conditioning in the van. Imagine the brick wall of heat and humidity (remember the rain?) when we got out at Laval for our next cache! After that, we decided to try to keep a little more temperate and drive with the windows down.

We made a quick detour to visit my mother since we were going past. She informed us that she didn't see a drop of rain in the past three days. I sighed. She tried to convince up to stay a little while and have a swim - which was really tempting considering the heat. We decided we wanted to get to the camp at a respectable time, which we did.

As we arrived, we were proud of ourselves. It was still light enough that after we set up camp, we will be able to have a swim and eat dinner before it got dark. That quickly changed. We followed the directions to our camp site to be confronted with a pile of sand in the middle of the road. They were rebuilding a washroom and completely closed off road access to the camp section we were staying in. The choice was to drive back to the gate and get a new site, or carry all of our gear to the camp site. We chose to drive. This worked out well because we ended up saving $2. In the end, we got a pretty good spot and we had dinner by cooking hot dogs on the camp fire.

Wednesday was even hotter. We were still able to hunt out 25 caches before the desire to return to camp overcame us. Swimming never felt so good - until we discovered the leeches. Even couldn't be cured by a good camp fire.

With the heat of this leg, the rain of the previous leg and the happy medium of the first leg, I can only imagine what our trip home will involve. We have a lot of caches lined up to make this a record breaking week. We'll see if we can actually do it.
