Hi Everyone,

Today was better than the previous several days.  There was no headwind! 
 The wind was only a couple of mph and it was cloudy.  Traffic out of
 Belleville was light and the drivers were considerate unlike yesterday 
when traffic was heavy in packs and the drivers were the worse I have 
seen in Canada.

I passed through Kingston, the city where the St Lawrence River begins.  
It is at the northeast corner of Lake Ontario where Canada and the US meets.  
Kingston must be the name of a township as well as the name of a city.  
The Welcome to Kingston sign appears some 20 miles from the city limits.  
Kingston is a big city in area and has a new section (malls, etc) and an 
old town section (stores packed together). 

On the way out of Kingston, I gave way to two vehicles - Army armored cars! 
 The is a Canadian army base here.

I decided to ride to Gananoque because I was felling good with the lack of a
 headwind and the town is only 28 km farther.  I saw dark clouds on the way 
in but there was no rain although the weatherman is claiming a 40% chance of
 isolated showers tomorrow.  

I am staying at a motel that has me in a cabin and that is good because 
I have a porch and ground space between cabins so I was able to lube my 
chain.  The only problem is that wifi is available but not in my cabin. 
 It is available 30 feet away so it is an antenna placement problem.  
This is not the first time that it has occurred and it will not be the
 last time.


The Statistics:  69.77 miles 1015 feet of climbing
