Stupid Brains, Stupid Trains

So it turned out that that train that I got on, didn't stop in Toronto. It was a one-way from Edmonton to Sudbury - it stopped there. I grabbed a hitchhike from Sudbury to Manitoulin Island, which is kind of the wrong-way I want to go. But I can find my way from Tobermory easier than I can from Sudbury.

I found just enough cash in my pockets to buy a ticket from Manitoulin Island to Tobermory. From Tobermory, it was rather hard to find someone to pick me up just because it's such a residential area. There are many scuba-divers and hikers in the area. It was then, that I realized, carrying all my camping equipment, that even though it would take a long time, I couldn't afford to bus back, that I could hike the Bruce Trail back. It would take many many weeks, but at least I would be able to make it home. 

The Bruce Trail goes from Tobermory to Hamilton to Toronto, and even past Toronto into the Scarborough Bluffs. I'm currently in Lions Head at a group campsite, it's dark and it doesn't look like anyone is coming even though someone clearly booked the site. There are also some bear proof garbage cans here, so I'm rather adamant about opening the canned food, we'll see how it goes. I'm not hungry yet...but I can feel the sleepiness of hiking overtaking me. Good night.
