This morning I checked my cell phone voice mail and there was nothing
 but that was Rogers Communication acting for T-Mobile.

I went on Hwy 40 like I wanted to yesterday and I found out why a local
tried to steer me clear of it.  It is a beautiful new asphalt highway with a
good shoulder but the trucks like it also.

At Blenheim a local told me how to see Lake Erie but I gave up because
I would have had to go into Rondeau Provincial Park for some unknown
distance and there was no guarantee that I would see anything.  However
I did see tobacco leaf being hung up to dry and fields of tobacco.

I continued on Hwy 3 to St Thomas and food availability is few and far
between.  All day I could find only 3 towns or crossroads that had food.

After I got into St Thomas, I tried calling Ruth.  I got her voice mail so my
T-Mobile cell phone works via Rogers in Canada.  I left her a message of
where I am for her to call me back. It turns out that my prepaid account
has limited international calls - just Canada and Mexico.


The Statistics:  69.71 miles and 388 feet of climbing.
