Days 3 and 4 - Sleeping Giant Provincial Park

On Tuesday (day 3) I continued along Highway 17 to the Sibley Peninsula just east of Thunder Bay. Along the way I stopped in Marathon to gas up and get some supplies (most importantly, peanut butter, that I had forgotten to bring - I was having withdrawal symptoms). Sleeping Giant Provincial Park is at the bottom of the Sibley Peninsula. It's 30Km from all the Highway 17 traffic and very quiet. It seemed to have a lot of trails of varying difficulty. I hoped to spend to nights there. That would give me a day or so to do some hiking.

I didn't register for 2 nights right off, because the weather forecast was for a low of 6°C on Tuesday night and 3° on on Wednesday. If survived Tuesday night OK, after spending the morning fixing some Morris problems (more on these later), I would register for another night and then do some hiking.
