The last day of our holiday! Today was cloudy, no rain, but you could almost wring the water out of the air and that includes our trailer. The walls, the windows, even our clothes were damp this morning. And then of course the bugs ........ mosquitos and teeny creepy crawlers everywhere!
After about 2 minutes of discussion, we decided to just pack up and go home. Too bad really because Marble Lake Lodge is on a very pretty lake, lots to do and see! So, we said goodbye to Connie (we just missed David when we came yesterday) and promised to come back and stay longer next time.
We stopped for breakfast in Tweed at the Gateway restaurant, then as we neared the 401 the car magically pulled in to the maple dale cheese factory. Lots of yummy samples to check out, some of which were award-winning cheeses. gotta love those fresh curds! ... and the fresh-baked cheese-breads.
The drive didn't seem so long this time. Before we knew it we were in Milton at a truck stop making our lunch in the trailer one last time.
We rolled into our driveway at home at 4 pm. Sigh........
The epilogue to our story is of course the hours of unpacking and clean up. But also talking about all the fabulous places we went and the interesting people we met on the trip! Lots of ideas for what to do on our next trip...........
Next time we'll have less driving days and stay longer in the places we really enjoy. Our little trailer worked out well. Always things to learn. We've met lots of people with good advice for us, just have to sift through it all.
Yeah, next time..............
Thanks to everyone who has been following along on our adventure. We wish you happiness and many adventures of your own.
Karl and Joanne,
ReplyDeleteWe really happy that you had an enjoyable and safe trip.
We noticed that as well, coming from Quebec to Ontario, the people and culture is very different.
Can you recall just how many species of trees you saw in Maine and new Hampshire?... yeah, too many.
