August 31, 1996; Saturday
I was tired and took my first sleep stop at 10 mile and I-94 (did not even make it out of town). When I woke up I saw people looking at me sleeping (I was in front of a house in a residential area). I bought some bungee cords in Port Huron and then I biked around town (6 miles). After that I Drove to the Pinery campground in Ontario, Canada, the campground was full. I stopped at 4 other campgrounds and they were all full. I then drove to Grande Bend and biked to the Pinery and back (25 miles). I drove down road towards Ipperwash and stopped at a campground, they were full and suggested that I check Happy Holiday camp ground. I biked to that campground and found an empty office. I then biked to highway 21 on Ipperwash road and then back to campground on Ipperwash road. At that time I found a person in the office, that person was a campground resident, the man was with his wife, she stayed at office with me while her husband went looking for the campground attendant (Willie). I biked around the campground and he showed me the two empty sites, after he rented me one of the sites he told the next people that were looking for a camp site that the campground was full (I think if I was not on a bike that he would have told me the campground was full). It cost $20.00/night Canadian. (bike miles 52.42/ car miles 206.9 - 33)
