72 miles
After we left the dorms in Ridgetown we stopped at Yeks Smokehouse for breakfast. Most of the group stopped here before heading out on the road. Ed asked me to ride with him as we headed out of town. We got on a very smooth road called the "Talbot Trail" for 26 miles. No shoulder but the surface of the road was nice.

Lunch stop was in Port Stanley near the railroad museum. Everyone did the obligatory jail photo of the circa 1700's jail near the trailer.

We rode east after lunch to the Port Burwell Provincial Park. It was very humid at the campground and most of us waited until close to dinner before showering. Later in the day it clouded up and began to rain. Blaine, Sharon, and Ziva prepared dinner and we had our nightly meeting during a rain shower. Later in the night while in our tents the skies let loose with lots of rain.
