Day 48 - July 12th - Marathon - 25KM

After enduring a ferocious overnight storm, we woke up to the sight of a thick, "pea-soup" like fog. This fog and mist was so bad that many people were taking frequent breaks in order to de-fog, if you will, their glasses and sunglasses. Although the safety conditions were sub-par it was quite an easy ride because we were all expecting a fairly mountainous trek. We were greeted by Brenda in Marathon and she had done a great job, as usual, in finding us a great hotel, The Peninsula Inn, that was more of a seven person camper that included a dishwasher and stove as well as a TV in the family room. Everyone had an enjoyable afteroon with some of us spending the afternoon in town while others stayed at home and enjoyed the Saturday sports TV. A great dinner, salmon patties and bean salad with veggies, and a great dessert, ice cream and grapes, capped off the day. Until next time!! Stefan.
