Saturday August 7, 2016 Mallorytown, ON, Canada

Our last day with the caravan.  There was a farewell breakfast in the restaurant of the RV park.  Breakfast was prepared by the park owner and his wife.  Everyone said their last minute goodbyes and exchanged plans for the next few days.  Some of the group live close and will be home in a few days.  Others like us live far away and will take some time getting home.  Of course there are a few full timers that are already home.

Before we left the park, Art Simpson came over and managed to get our DirecTV reception working again.  There was a point in Nova Scotia that we were too far north for our system.  After we got far enough south again we were still unable to get a signal.  He was able to accomplish what the support person at DirecTV wasn't.  In return I gave Art the use of a roll of Gorilla Tape to hold some damaged plastic work on the front of his tow car in place.

Since we are not going to be in the north east for fall the fall foliage change, Gerri got pictures of a couple of trees in the park that couldn't wait until fall to change.

We were on the road by 10 with plans to drive about 210 miles to a park in Bainsville, Ontario.  Most of the route was good two lane with controlled access or 4 lane interstate type highway.



The only problem we had was getting through Montreal.  I made a wrong turn that would have taken us on a bridge that we were not allowed to cross.  An alert bridge attendant stopped us before we got to the bridge and directed us to a turnaround and then shut down traffic so we could get in the right lane and onto the proper route again.


 Gerri did get some picture as we traveled.  Including some of the skyline of Montreal.

We passed Bainsville at about 2 and decided to go on.  Gerri located a park in the 1000 Lakes region in Mallorytown. and we headed there after she called and made sure a site was available.  The park was a KOA, which we usually try to avoid.

We got to the park and were set up in a pull through site with full hook ups including 50 amp electrical service.  It was warm so we had to run the air conditioners until the coach cooled town.  The park is nicely kept and the sites spacious.  There are a lot of families with children here and the park has activities for them, including wagon rides around the park and a busy swimming pool.  Even though the nightly rate is high, like most KOAs, it does't have all of the Keep On Adding features that we dislike.

Once we parked and set up we started to relax.  I didn't even unhook the Jeep.  Thanks to Art's efforts back in Levis we watched some TV while relaxing.  Even though we didn't miss the TV when it didn't work, it is nice to have the option again.

We will stay here Sunday and hope to get the worship service net-cast from Oakey Boulevard..  Monday we will move on toward Celina, OH.
