Saturday, Oct 20, Continuing homeward


After getting an early night last night (no TV, no Wi Fi in Wal-Mart parking lot), we were up at 6:15. Had a coffee, and then went to Wal-Mart for some last-minute shopping. Had breakfast at Subway then it was off to get fuel, which was $4.39/gallon.
Next, we headed north on I-81 towards CANADA! 

At 9:26 we crossed the 1000 Islands toll bridge  over the St. Lawrence River. Then it was on to customs, which was very straightforward and we were back in Ontario!

 

 
 
 
The drive up was gorgeous, with many beautiful displays of fall colours – especially the Tamarack, which are blazing yellow. Hard to get a good picture when going 90km/hr!
They are the only conifer trees that lose their needles.
 

 
 
 
 
 
Decided to stop in Algonquin Park tonight, and parked on site 58.  It started raining, but only briefly. 

We decided we needed more water onboard (there is only electric hookup), so found a potable water tap and made 8 trips with 2 two litre pop bottles, thus putting 8 gallons into the tank! Good exercise, especially after sitting in the truck for 2 days.
 
Quiet evening, ready for the final leg home tomorrow.
