In the second instalment of Fisher Monahan's Sweetgrass Chronicle series, he finds himself wrapped in a wool blanket lying on a forest floor somewhere in Nova Scotia, wondering how he got to a place untouched by the hum of planes trains and cars. The only hum he's used to now is the one from his bicycle as he races through Canada's eastern wilderness on a 4,000 kilometre journey from the heartlands of Ontario's Toronto region to the Atlantic Shores of Halifax. For 2 months he surfed through roadside cafes, dodged trucks on highways, bathed in waterfalls, and drew pictures of just about everything in his path. "The Sweetgrass Chronicles: A Bicycle Tour East" is an illustrated story of Fisher's journey East, from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean on a 9-speed bike.
