WE Go East. All the THUMBNAILS ENLARGEWe head back East for two weeks. West Jet return to Ottawa out of Abbotsford, with chauffeur and car service by my brother and Wanda (the 3rd best euchre player in the family). My niece and her partner in crime Chris, decided that it was time to change the sign on the road outside their great home on 13 Island lake north of Kingston Ontario to Grant and their wedding was the just the excuse I needed to get of the couch and bike seat here in BC and get back east after far too long. The weather other than one day on our circuit around Southern Ontario was just beautiful even if it was a record warm time back there. We did get a rain storm up along Lake Huron for an afternoon but that was it. It was great to get back to some of my old haunts and show Judy just were the kid grew up. Met up with some old school mates and spent some time with Judy's inlaws in Niagara falls for a bit. The wedding of course was a highlight and being on the lake with a reception in an old Ontario barn made for some great times. I'll add some photos and comments as I work through our trip. My apologies to many folks for sneaking in and out of Ontario without seeing you all but, there just was not enough time in the budget. Maybe next time. The Big Day .....or the reason for the trip 😀Later at the BARNAnd now the TourWe started and ended in Kingston. Walked a bit of Fort Henry and explored a few of the 1000 islands out of Ivy Lee. A much shorter but very nice version of the tours out of Kingston. In our circle tour of southern Ontario we went up through Canton a small village north of Port Hope. Peterborough, then west across to Collingswood where we stopped for the first night of the road trip. We then went S/W across the farm belt to Stratford, my Mom's home town and then on to Niagara Falls to Visit with Judy's Brother and Sister In Law (Larry's sister). Got the tour from Bernie in daylight and had a good look around at the falls at night. Took in a winery and after two nights headed off to Ajax to meet up with Highschool buddies. Of course to do that we went through Toronto. Port Hope and the lakeshore the next day and back to Kingston via the Glenora Ferry near Picton. Highlites in pictures below. Don't forget to click on the Pics for enlargement A tour of 13 Island Lake Odds and EndsDenise and Mason do Mt Cheam The two of them along with other friends and kids hike overnight up onto Mt Cheam. The pictures speak for themselves. Just a small hill in the Valley ! Mason is looking out over the Valley towards Chilliwack and Abbotsford. The picture of both of them has a view more to the North. The Lake in the background is Harrison Lake. The sunset is to the South West. This all is within an easy drive to the bottom from our house. Mason said it took about an hour to hike up. I'm guessing more but I am waiting for clarification. Clarification: It's not an easy drive....you need 4X4 and it's still a rough go....and it's 2 hrs with pack to the camp and another hour up to the top. FYI near Mason's feet in the background you can see smoke from the newest forest fire that started late last week. I'm waiting for a break in summer weather to get a whole bunch more stuff up... It's taken me a while to get to this point ..... |
