Wednesday, May 29, Off to Kingston


After spending two days at home, we packed up & are on the road to Rideau Acres Campground in Kingston for the 7th Annual Titanium Reunion. We are still allowed to attend, although we don’t own a Titanium Fifth Wheel any more. We are considered ‘Titanium Alumni’!

The rain came down in buckets as I was loading up and the temp is 17C, but by the time we actually left at 10:30, it has stopped.

An hour later, going across Hwy 17, there was a steady rain and the temp dropped 2 degrees.

Before reaching Pembroke, there was torrential rain and fog, which let up by 1:00, when we stopped for fuel & lunch at the Irving Station. By the time we left, light rain started. Guess it is following us!

At 2:00, there was no rain, dry road and 23C, which made for a more pleasant drive. When we passed through Carleton Place at 2:50, it was cloudy, 21C but NO RAIN.

Going through Smiths Falls at 3:10, there was a mix of sun & cloud and a very pleasant 24C.

We arrived at Rideau Acres in beautiful sunshine at 4:20 and settled in to the same site we have had for the past 5 years. There were 5 attendees there already and it was nice to renew friendships that we have made over the years. 

For our first night, we enjoyed a dinner of BBQ steak, baked potatoes, salad and mushroom/onion/pepper medley. Delicious way to start off the week!   

Unfortunately, the campground has not improved the Wi-Fi, so I still have to go to the store for internet.
