Our Location:
MTO Inspection Pull Off, 40 minutes south of Sudbury, Ontario.
It's been cold and damp, with wind and rain the last number of days but we managed to get everything put away dry and neatly by Saturday evening. So Riley and I decided we would let the wheels roll a day early. The entire Rock is without power on this Sunday, Oct 22 from 8 am until around 6 pm or so the projection goes. Everyone else had schedules planned and so we decided to take advantage of the sun filled but cold day. Tough good byes this morning as we left!! We pulled out the last gate at 11:32 am ( I looked at the clock) and with only a few little stops we arrived here around 3 pm. It took longer than necessary but we did stop for about 20 minutes in Espanola to do a few little things.
I told you it was frosty a few mornings.... 
Even the thistles are shivering. 
A true carpet of leaves.
Roads were good, dry, but busy. We are only going as far as Waterdown tomorrow, we will be there a few days doing a couple of things. Hopefully that will include getting in visits with both Courtney and Bradey. Of course David, Auston and Lincoln all come with Bradey! Time will tell. Our goal is to cross the border sometime between Friday and Sunday. We are looking forward to some warmer weather!
A few pics from up high over the Igloo.
The yellows are strong now.
In the midst of putting things away and cleaning things up. The Cabin, Dogsled and Igloo.
We have opted to bypass Buttercup Ridge this fall. No one is there since Judi and her dog Win moved into their own home in Belleville. Janet and Dennis are still in California and so there is no reason to venture out of our way to BR. We usually spend 10 - 14 days there but instead will spend a approx 5 or 6 days in the Waterdown area.

| The waters in South Bay are getting that ugly grey colour and so the temperatures have changed drastically. |

| Taken this morning, my last picture of the year in my favourite spot. |
I called my dad when we arrived, chatted for a few minutes, still no power there. We will be talking to him regularly over the winter months. I hope you enjoyed the photos.

Take care, stay safe,

Nice Autumn photos. You don't suppose you could hook our Jeep on behind your 5th wheel with Kelly, Pheebs and I in it and take us along do ya:)) All the best in your travels.
ReplyDeleteThanks Al. The colours are showing more yellow these days and the leaves are falling fast.
DeleteIf you know a good sailor’s knot to ensure you don’t come loose at the wrong moment, feel free to snag the rope! I will take some pics with you in mind this year, as I did last year! Stay warm!
Deb
We wish you safe travels and fun times :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks. To you folks as well. I read that you have left the park and that Buffy has a new home. Stay safe and have fun!

Ice is almost a four letter word. I talked to a friend tonight that's in Yuma and this weeks temps are going to be in the 80s. ( had been in the 100s)"So go west young lady go west" Safe travels Vern, Boise
ReplyDeleteYes ice is a form of cussing at times. I have been watching the weather for a while and the route we plan on taking appears to be moving into a cold front area when we plan on passing thru, how do you like that? Lol. Significant drops in temperatures overnight. Ah yes, we are fleeing from the cold damp icy fingers of northern Ontario only to run into the same icy cold dampness with a different view! It’s the season. Lol. Stay warm Vern!

I was just reading and replying to comments on my blog when I thought check out Deb's. I wondered if you and Riley when on the road yet.
ReplyDeleteHave no idea how but something flashed and my comment was published....lol before I could say Safe Travels!
DeleteThanks. We hope to cross Friday - Sunday, and run south for nicer weather. Looking forward to catching up!
DeleteDeb
Woohoo! I personally would have a hard time leaving that beautiful spot until there was snow on the ground but I understand wanted to get out of Dodge before it gets white. Safe travels!
ReplyDeleteThe weather can change fast enough to make you shiver too much to lock the door in a night. Lol. It is beautiful and we miss the people a great deal but we can’t stay and they won’t come, so we part for a few months. You don’t want to be there in the winter, cold windy damp and those are the easy days. Lol
DeleteDeb
Goodness. You have the best of 2 worlds....beautiful Canada and the beautiful southwest. Safe travels!
ReplyDeleteThanks Elva. We do have the best of both worlds and great folks in both!
DeleteDeb
Thanks Nancy. I’m hoping we’ve had our last cold day for this season. It looks pretty good going forward. You know once the wheels start rolling warmly the Dogsled just runs faster and farther every day. Lol.
