July 5 2007 (Thursday)

The last few days have been uneventful. We are still camping out, now in a place between Winnipeg and Thunder Bay, a tiny little town with a lake to go swimming in.
Last night's shift went well. We did about 50 km, and by the end of it, I just walked right into our campsite at about 8 am in the morning.
Last night was the 4th of July, and as such, the others celebrated by firing a couple fireworks. However, they only got two of them off when they were told to stop - it was past quiet hours. But anyway, Ben marked the occasion by wearing his American pro-life shirt from a past walk that he did (this is his fourth Crossroads walk).
We have one more shift tonight and then we will be taking a rest for the weekend. This weekend we will be staying in a church rectory, thanks to a certain Father Richard who is hosting us.
We have a number of things to deal with this weekend - Cyril and Sarah are leaving Saturday morning, driving the van to Winnipeg, as it is a rental and needs to be returned. They are driving back in a rental jeep. We will see them again Sunday night. Greg also will be flying out to Toronto Monday morning in order to pick up a new van for us, and drive it back here to Thunder Bay.
We have 4 Masses to do this weekend, which should keep us busy.
