Pictures are in the Old Collingwood Shipyards
Time to do catch up on the blog. Today we travelled from Collingwood to Kincardine. Started the day with bright sunshine but quickly deteriorated to overcast skies. Travelled along the shores of Georgian Bay on Highway 26 to Meaford. The town was decorated for fall with tall corn stalks, pumpkins and scare crows. Very impressive main street. Also travelled on our first section of gravel construction for 14 kms. It was hard packed but rough with no dust. Stopped at Southhampton for lunch and wait out a rain storm. Linda visited a 3 acre indoor market. It was enormous. Checked into Green Acres Campground. Excellent for big rigs and really good WIFI. May stay here for more days.
Sept 17th Collingwood
Arrived from Wasaga Beach area. Was a nice day for travelling. No good RV places for larger units so stayed at Wal Mart. Visited the Old Shipyard area that has been transformed into beautiful park, marina and condo area. Toured the famous Blue Mountain Ski Area and other sites. Took lots of pictures. Not like our Rocky Mountains.
Sept 14th Wasaga Beach
Left Sudbury for Wasaga Beach. Excellent highway. Passed by Parry Sound the home of Bobby Orr. Wasaga Beach is a summer playground with 14 kms of sand beach like South Padre Island in Texas. Pretty quiet this time of year. The second day it was raining so we decided to drive to Barrie for a tour. I had lived there for 2 years after getting out of school. Pretty countryside with lush green lawns and yards and lots of corn crops.
The Wedding
Had a great time at my nieces wedding. Ceremony was outside and luckily the weather was perfect. We had a chance to visit with my brother Ken and his wife Chris and sister Shirley and husband John. Also took a day trip to North Bay to visit my brother Don in the Nippissing Manor. He is doing quite well and was glad to see us.
