Well, todays adventure took us to Laval Quebec. The “us” today was Momma Duck and her daughter Rebecca. (The and Steve is still in Newfoundland).

We headed towards Montreal – but landed in Laval (Lesson #1– Laval and Montreal are not the same). Laval is a lovely spot and we found this nice park that we wanted to walk through.

So, the quest was to find a parking spot. Eureka, we found one! The sign says “No Parking from 9-2 hours” but lots of other cars parked here. Ok – Great, let’s park and we pulled in at 14:10. Now the park was an interesting walk, there were some sights that never should be repeated or re-seen! But it was still a nice day. People watching at its best. When we returned to the car, we noticed a few things. #1 – we were the only Ontario plated car, and #2 – we were the only car with a ticket! $75. The ticket was issued at 14:12. Apparently the sign said “No Parking 9-21 hours” – we did not see that little 1 after the 2. Oh boy, what a costly mistake. (Lesson #2 Learn to read the sign!)

OK, how to cheer oneself up? First off, let’s find a lovely spot on the river to eat. Now you know Jo – let’s find a microbrewery…. There is one in Deux Montagnes – umm- say’s it closes at 12pm – that doesn’t make sense. It is Saturday, after all!

So, off we go. Noire et Blanche Microbrasserie – Located in St-Eustache, Quebec. We found the town; another beautiful little spot. We found a clearly marked “Free” parking spot too! We walked up to the Microbrewery and it did look closed from the outside. It also did not look like the nicest place from the front. We thought, maybe a good thing if it was closed. Tried the door and indeed it was opened! (Lesson #3 – don’t believe all that you read on the internet!).

So now it was a decision time should we stay or should we go… Darn, the hostess is here. Ok, we will stay. Now she asks inside or out. We were nervous that there was no one out front but we followed her. Out back, … it opens up to the most beautiful patio on the river! Time to order!! White beer, Sangria, of course a flight of beer! (Litchi-Tchin(7), 93E-Resolution(8), St-Moustache(15), Pomme Porom Pom Pom(11)). Lobster rolls, Duck legs, Calamari, and a veggie bowl. Simply Amazing! We followed that with decadent desserts. Creme Brule, Pineapple Brule, and a Chocolate Brownie. Need I say more! (Lesson #4 Never judge a book by its cover). I would highly recommend this spot 6 stars out of 5!! I Just have to get the “and Steve” here to Check it out!!!

Ok, homeward bound – Rhonda (Daphne’s GPS) Take us Home! Oops, where are we? …OKA! There is no road here Rhonda… Ferry Time! It was so much fun being on the water. Stunning pictures…oops …darn, ran out of battery…. (Lesson #5 make sure your phone is charged). Thank goodness for friends with phones!!!

South Dundas – The way business should be…

On 21st June 2019

OK, I’ve been baking again! Time for another day trip. Today the “and Steve” is in Newfoundland, so our good friend Kim is my accomplice. Our mini road trip took us to Prescott, ON. I really wanted to check out the Newport Bakery and have their Pulled Pork. Now coincidentally it is located right beside the Windmill Brewery and the Kings Lock Distillery! Imagine that…

We arrived early so we took a walk down to see the windmill from the historic 1838 Battle of the Windmill. Today it was closed but for you history buffs there is a number to call to have someone open it. However, there are some plaques that explain what happened here.

The Newport Bakery & BBQ was almost another disappointment…… Now this was our second time attempting to eat here and we had just drove an hour to check this out! Last time they ran out of pulled pork and today they had no buns. Maybe I am not meant to eat here! We ended up trying the pulled pork on a taco shell. Very messy, but at least we can check that off our list.

Now next stop was the Windmill Brewery where we tried the 1838 Pilsner and the Barracks Black. Yep-only the two samples. Behind the next door is the Kings Lock Distillery. Their philosophy is “Live Life in small Batches”. Interesting place – took a private tour learned a lot about vodka vs. rum and moonshine. The owner Rob, was so nice and very informative. There were many types of distilled spirits to sample – even a garlic vodka; apparently good to cook with – no thanks – I will stick to beer! Rob then suggested that we visit a few other small businesses in the area, so off we went.

Next stop, Dentz Berry Farm for freshly picked Strawberries – these were awesome. Then recommendation number 2 the Upper Canada Creamy – Biemond fresh curds and cheese and organic natural yogurt. Really nice family-operated farm and dairy.

Now what goes well with cheese but wine! On the recommendation of Biemond we headed a little east to the Stone Crop Winery. By Now Kim is running out of steam, but being a great sport we tried a few wines here. The 2016 Frontenac Gris/Vidal (White), a 2018 Frigio Reisling (White), then a 2017-Frontenac Noir-Cabernet Franc (Red), and lastly the 2016 Fronenac Noir-Cabernet Sauvignon. I have to say this was the cheapest stop at a winery that I have ever done. Hmmm… Maybe because Steve wasn’t here and I don’t like wine.

The thing that impressed me the most was that these individual little business support and recommend each other – that is that way business should be done.

Dare to be Different!

When you’re finished changing, you’re finished.
Benjamin Franklin

Happy Birthday Momma who? An adventurous spirit is not only related to travel but to every aspect of life. The bike ride / hike today took us on some of the paths less traveled. Today we actually explored Beryl Gaffney Park. Took some side paths; had to walk the bike through some water, over some boulders and of course up some hills! But we did have a chance to see some pretty scenery and places we never knew existed that were just in our back yard. I am so glad we found this path!

The house we are renting has grey colors everywhere – it is so depressing and blah! Now I can’t change that, but I can change the grey in my hair. So, on a whim while getting my normal hair cut, I thought why not- the salon was not busy – they had time, so let’s do it! I actually had the three girls at the salon choose the colour – not sure if that was the best idea, but it is only hair and it will grow out. I have to be honest when she first started to put the colour on, I was like OMG – but as my mother-in-law would say “What odds?”. Now the colour looked nothing like the sample and the grey colour hair now looks neon – but it will get some reaction from people and it is not permanent. I have to say it was a lot of fun to see the reaction of some people and the non-reaction of others LOL. I am not even sure the dog knew what to say!

Oh yeah, forgot to mention; that for some more change I decided to re-pierce my ears. That’s all – no tattoos and no body piercings. Finished the day at the Metcalfe Golf Course, with Beer (Cracked Canoe), and Cake. It will be interesting to see what one will do for a milestone birthday. Happy Birthday Momma Jo!

Father’s Day – It’s All about the “B” Factor

On 16th June 2019

In Events

Well, Steve didn’t have any special requests for Father’s Day, but the family had different ideas.

First “B” is Biking. Today we tried the Beryl Gaffney Bike Path; a 13 km path from Barrhaven to Manotick. It is a winding trail that hugs the river through the woods. A beautiful path and the only disappointment is that it was not long enough.

Second “B” Brunch – Lansdowne Farmers Market. Found in the heart of the Ottawa Glebe. Held on Sunday mornings. This Market is filled with Unique Artisans & Venders. Yummy Cookies, Maple Wine, Fresh Veggies, Local Strawberries, Dog treats, Gourmet Grilled Cheese, Indian food, Wild Meat Sausage, Plants, Kombucha, and for another “B” Bibimbap (Korean) and “B” Baked goods. And the List goes On. If you are ever in Ottawa on a Sunday Morning, we would highly recommend that you should really check this out.

Next “B” is Beer – The Craft Beer Market! Home to 100+ different beers. Conveniently located next to the Landsdowne Market! This was Rebekah’s treat and you know us we would never say no to beer! Our favorite here was the Belgium Strawberry Wheat Beer. (Ok, maybe not Steve’s fave). Definitely a fun spot.

“B” BBQ – What’s Father’s Day without a BBQ and this one was full of “B” BEEF!! Baked potatoes, Broccoli and followed by Chocolate Brownies.

All in all a “B” Brilliant Day! (well at least from the family’s point of view and Steve totally agreed!)

I Scream for Ice Cream

On 10th June 2019

I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice Cream!!
KIDS & KIDS AT HEART

Today is the final push home. 6 hours uggh! Well, sometimes these days can be long, tiring and monotonous, so to avoid the boring ride we are always trying to find interesting things to do. Today we entered Kawartha Lakes County. And for the life of us we couldn’t remember why that name sounded so familiar. We knew we had not visited here before, so what was it that kept us wondering why the name sounded so familiar? Then it dawned on us; Kawartha Ice Cream. With that, the Google search was on. However, by the time we searched this up we had passed Owen Sound where their main plant is located. Darn!

Halfway through the drive is Bancroft, ON and there we saw it a sign for “KAWARTHA DAIRY!” STOPPP!!!! – Jo was not missing this one. It was time for a treat and a walk around. This was the perfect spot. The ice cream was decadent! I love the fact that by the end of our trip our freezer is usually empty – so we went home with 5 litres of ice cream. “Death By Chocolate”, “Salty Caramel Truffle” and one that you can only buy at the dairy “Bear Claw” – dark chocolate ice cream with chocolate covered cashews and a ribbon of soft caramel running through it. Yep, scream it DECADENT!!!

Ok, this should help us make it the last 3 hours. Homeward bound again. I am sure with all the treats on board from this trip, the kids will be glad to see us…. Well for a little while, at least until the treats run out. Winnie needs a rest, and we know that we will be on the go again soon.

A fishway you say?

Nothing lasts forever but at least we got these memories.
J cole

One wonders if the Lake Huron sunrise would be as spectacular as the sunset but we can’t tell you today, as we slept right through it. No, tractors, no 407-road noise nor any roosters to wake us this morning. The treat of the morning was a basket of local freshly picked Ontario Strawberries – Our first of the season. We purchased them from a small market farm on the side of the road; Joyce Farm Market. Man, o man they were tasty! I have always loved that first basket of local strawberries of the season! Remember we love to support local!

Today’s adventure takes us to our first stop at Sauble Falls – this very lovely area is a provincial park and a very popular tourist spot. So, patience is sometimes required to get the right picture. There is a small coin operated parking meter at the top of the parking lot. We didn’t have enough coins so we took turns going down to see the falls. Oh Well!

Next stop the town of Sauble Beach. This was a lovely spot; the beach seemed endless and oh, so soft sand. The waters were warm and it seemed to be a beautiful spot to spend the day. However, you know us, we aren’t really all day beach type people. So off we go with our end goal today to make it to Collingwood.

On our drive today we saw a huge billboard for Dairy Queen “BOOM”. Not sure what was actually on the sign other than the fact that the “O” letters were Blizzard treats. We never thought anything of it until our next stop, which was Meaford. Here we took a break and actually sat down and watched all the activity in the bay. While we were here, we noticed everyone with these awesome looking ice-cream treats so we asked where they came from and “BOOM” it was a Dairy Queen. Yep, we did – Ice Cream!!

Next, we stopped in Thornbury; on the foot of the Blue Mountains – you know where blue mountain pottery came from. We went for a walk on the walking/biking trail and checked out the Thornbury Dam and Fish Way. Yep, a fish way. What the heck is a fishway?, you ask. When they built the dam, they built a curved, cement river with rocks etc. to mimic the natural river so when the fish have to swim up river to spawn, they can – AKA a Fish WAY.

Final stop for the day; Collingwood and of course, Collingwood Brewery – on the advice of a stranger! Lovely stop as they had a great selection of beer, a fantastic patio where you can relax and enjoy various games such as Ginat Jenga that you can play and interact with others. While in Collignwoood, we reached out to a couple that we met on a cruise a couple years back, and they were home! We met up with Ron & Pat and on their recommendation we went out to their favorite restaurant; The Alphorn. The decor is quite eclectic and very “Swiss-alpish” (is that even a word?). The place was very busy but apparently for them it was a slower time. The schnitzel was excellent and it was great to catch up with our friends and reminisce about the cruise. Their driveway was too small for Winnie, so we came with plan B – we asked the owner if we could stay in his parking lot for the night. His response was “sure, just don’t pee on the grass”. Given we no longer had Max, that wasn’t going to be an issue!

Advice from a Stranger

On 8th June 2019

In Campgrounds, Places We've Been

Don’t Listen to what they say Go See!
chinese proverb

While having a discussion on the ferry yesterday, about how to avoid Hwy 401 back to Ottawa, a fellow traveler overheard us. He was so excited to share his travels and experiences. So, today we decided to go to Ottawa via Lake Huron, and see some of the places that he told us about.

The Caribbean like blue colored water of Lake Huron, definitely caught our eye. Wow it was stunning! While trying to find a place to stop and check out the lake we stumbled upon the little village of Bayfield. Bayfield was incorporated as a village in 1876 and was the most peaceful and pleasant stop. It still had a lot of that old town charm. Here we enjoyed some ice cream from the Copenhagen’s Ice Cream shop; a pink lemonade from the Pink Flamingo Bakery & Boutique and showed great restraint in their boutique and did not buy the Santa. And if you know Jo, that is GREAT RESTRAINT!! Exhibited even more restraint when she only took a picture in the chocolate shop!

We then walked through the peaceful Pioneer Park which had access to the beach on Lake Huron, and of course we had to put our feet in the water! The “mission and purpose of the Pioneer Park Association is to promote the health and enjoyment of the Bayfield area” and we have to say the park certainly accomplished it’s mission for us. While meandering around Bayfield another couple encouraged us to go to the town of Goderich. Enough said, next stop Goderich!

Apparently, Goderich is “Canada’s Prettiest Town”. They have a beautiful board walk that hugs the lake, with lots of areas for picnics and also some nice sandy beach areas. It is the home of the Goderich Mine “The World’s Largest Underground Salt Mine”. The town has also converted the old train station into a restaurant with great views of Lake Huron. Here we walked around and just people watched and enjoyed the view of the blue waters of Lake Huron.

Our stop for the night was Inverhuron Provincial Park. Apparently, home to some of the best sunsets on Lake Huron. I have to say we sat on the beach for hours watching this beautiful scene develop. And as we always say; “How does it get better than this?!”

One’s destination is never a place but a new way of seeing things.
henry miller

Oh, what a beautiful sunrise as we awoke to the sounds of the local rooster. However, what a wonderful sleep listening to the waves off of Lake Erie. Today’s adventure will take us to Pelee Island with the first stop Leamington Ferry for the 10 am ferry. Now, to save us some money and the possible disappointment of not getting Winne on the ferry we took our bikes and walked on to the ferry!! $22.50 each way was great. The island is 28 km to circle the entire island and we only had three hours before the return sailing with a number of places we had to see! Jo strategically planed how to get the whole island explored in one day. So, we were off the ferry by 11:50, and off we go! Jo had Sam, the bike GPS, and had it down to a science as she was not missing the ferry back, lol.

Our first stop was the “The Bakery” Canada’s southernmost Bakery and eatery and voted number one on the island (it was the only one but was also very good!). We felt like food critics ordering 6 different things to try. You know it – Carb load to get the energy to do the whole island. It was a definite 5/5 stop!! 30 minutes off the clock … go go go ….

We stopped at a few beaches – Sunrise Beach was actually I thought the most beautiful. Ok, a little mishap with directions but we did get to Fish Point Reserve which is the location of Canada’s most southerly inhabited point. Jo didn’t plan for the fact that you had to walk 20 minutes to get there. Ummh, another 20 minutes walk/hike, 5 minutes for pictures and 20 minutes back – yep it will all work out!

Oh yeah, watch out for snakes. Seriously?! Yikes!! Now we headed out on the trail. The first part was amazing, well marked and somewhat groomed but the last part of it was not marked, not groomed, trees down everywhere and no direction signs. Steve’s GPS on the phone kept saying how far we were and he wanted to turn back but Jo had a timer set on the watch and we still had over 2 minutes to find this point and she (I) did not come all this way to turn back now. She was not giving up. We did have to climb over a bunch of trees and debris but she found it with 1 minute to spare!!! Well, we ran out to the point, got our shoes wet, took our Kodak moments, collected a small tigers eye rock off the most southerly point and headed back to the bikes. Yep, we did it!! Got the pictures to prove it.

Ok, time is running out and our next stop was to get the return tickets – now the process for ticket purchase is a story for another day. We passed by the Pelee Island Winery and said we’ll come back after we get the tickets, but oh the Stone House 1891 Brewery – imagine Canada’s most southerly brewery. So, we had a decision to make as we only had time for one stop. B “Beer/Brewery” is before “V’ Vineyard and “W” Wine – so “B” comes first and the brewery wins. Logical, right? But we did have time to go back and have a quick photo op by the Pelee Island vineyard. looked like a lovely place!

An extremely fun day! Definitely a place you should come and visit if you ever have the chance! Should we do it again, we’ll plan ahead and book a campsite!

Welcome to the Tip of Canada

On 6th June 2019

In Campgrounds, Places We've Been

Better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times.
Asian proverb

Well, we did not float away last night with all that rain and the sun is shining this morning. Today we are heading out to Point Pelee National Park. This park lies on the shores of Lake Erie and is home to the most southerly tip of mainland Canada. Did you know that this most southerly point of mainland Canada is as far south as Rome and Barcelona? Interesting, eh?

This park was a dream. The bike paths were amazing – some a little wet, but still bike-able. It has something for everyone. Boardwalks, marshes, bird watching, observation towers, historic sites such as “DeLaurier Homestead”, beaches, sand dunes and wildlife. Did you know that this was the home of the Cardinal Brand Apples Company? However, our main reason for coming was of course, the most southerly point of mainland Canada. We definitely got our feet wet here!

Momma Jo will not forget that for some of us (i.e. Jo) it was deer fly central, as she seemed to be a beacon for the deer flies. Hundreds of them swarming her. The deer flies did not like Steve but he did get dive bombed by a mother bird protecting her nest. Got to love nature! We got to explore over 16 km of the park. Our bike & hike took us about 4 hours but you could definitely spend a full day here.

Ok, on to our Harvest Host for the night Sprucewood Shores Estate Winery. Now Lola (our lovely GPS) was not winning any friends tonight as she definitely took us the wrong way. Not to worry though, as we made it by 4:55 pm with 5 minutes before closing time! The staff here were very kind and served us and kept the place open for us to enjoy a few of their wines. They had some very interesting names which made you want to try them and a whole section “for the Sweet tooth” yep right up Jo’s alley! A rosé Sweet Eloise, a white Chillin’ Dylan, a sweet select Riesling – Jo actually like a couple of these. Steve enjoyed the reds Caboom! and Lady in Red and we both enjoyed their Applelicous. This gorgeous winery on the shore of Lake Erie offers a great place to come and enjoy an afternoon on their beach, with a picnic basket or a charcuterie board (which you can buy there). The beach was so relaxing; this was such a beautiful place. If you are ever in Southern Ontario, we would highly recommend this stop and I hope some day we will be back!

Forty Mile Creek

On 5th June 2019

Well, we stayed the night in the Sicard RV Parking Lot and got pleasantly awoken by the sounds of tractors at 6am. At least the night was quiet. So, day 2 of the Warranty Checkup. Now, Jo loved the 6 am start; Steve not so much (lol). Off to the Beamer Memorial Conservation Area for a hike and to find the falls.

The area had 6 km of trails that in some places were not so well marked! The trails traversed along the Niagara Escarpment and the 40 Mile Creek and it was only upon reaching the bottom did we find the trail map and legend for this Bruce Trail. Here we went in search of the Beamer Falls. The 40 Mile creek offered some very nice views but the top falls were spectacular; which we almost missed. But with determination and perseverance we found them!!

This hike inspired us to check out the Forty Creek Distillery. You should know us by now – we really should get our livers checked when we go home!!

The distillery allowed us to try 4 samples each for free so together we tried 8 different tastings – 4 different Whiskeys, (some aged in Canadian Oak barrels), 1 whisky cream (look out Bailey’s!), a brandy, a rum (here we come Captain!) and a maple liquor. They were also very generous with their samples. Needless to say, we needed to have a picnic in the yard before we hit the road. This was a fun stop; the bartenders were great and knowledgeable and everyone had to laugh when Jo made her sour puss face – I told you she is a beer girl!! Ok, now onward to Wheatley Provincial Park which is just out side of Point Pelee National Park. Two things we learned here in a really short time; 1) provincial parks in Ontario have become very expensive!!! and 2) this area had a lot of rain this spring! We drove around for a long time after check-in looking for high ground before we found a site dry enough to park Winnie. Rain, Rain, Rain and then some more Rain! I don’t remember the last time I seen this much rain. Man, Wheatley was wet!!!

Rental Car Upgrade

On 4th June 2019

Even though we stayed in this beautiful conservation area we woke up to the sound to the QEW … oh boy, the price of civilization. Today, we decided we would rent a car for the two days that Winnifred is in the shop. Fortunately for us they did not have the car that we reserved, so we got an upgrade!! A fully loaded Ford Expedition – this rig was SWEET!! and almost as big as Winnie!

Since Steve had to take Winnie to the shop, Jo got to Drive!! Look out Niagara! We decided for our day trip today we would head into Niagara- On-The-Lake. Our first stop was Queens Royal Park which had breathtaking views of Lake Ontario. From here we walked into downtown. We played the tourist and made sure we stopped at every store; Niagara Home Bakery, Nina Gelateria & Pastry Shop, Taylors Bakery, the Treadwell Bakery, Old Thyme Candy, Just Christmas, Cows Ice Cream shop and the list goes on. We did treat ourselves to Hot Jamaican patties, Brownies and a scone from the Taylors Bakery and a donair panini from the Old-Thyme candy shop. But no Beer!

We tried hard to avoid the busloads of tourists and tried even harder not to look like one but when it comes to Jo taking pictures – well, she sure blends in with the tourists. The tulips were in full bloom and she just had to get the perfect pictures!! We checked out some of the not so touristy areas that got flooded with all the spring rains. They still had the sand bags to protect the water level. Very unfortunate for those that got flooded out.

Our next stop was the Silversmith Brewing Company on Niagara Stone Road. Here we shared a flight of 6 different beers; Black Lager, Breakfast Wheat, Hill 145, Dam Buster, Minds IPA and the Bandit. Most of them were too heavy for Jo, so Steve got to drink most of them…… Nap Time if you know what I mean (Wink, wink).

Then off to Oast House Brewery and BBQ, as we needed some good food! Well no flights allowed on the Patio (which Is probably a good thing) and because it was Tuesday, the BBQ only had two items; a Korean Pulled Pork Taco and a Beef Brisket Taco so we had to try them both – we have to say that it would be great to come back when they had a full menu!

This area had some beautiful scenery, and the wineries always had the most beautiful spots; just too bad Jo doesn’t like wine!! But she does like taking pictures. Niagara on the Lake is a beautiful place and it is definitely worth the stop, if you are in the area.

Fifty Point

By Steve

On 3rd June 2019

I don’t have a bucket list but my BIKEIT List is a mile long!
Anonymous

Fifty Point is both a Marina & Conservation Area on Lake Ontario near Grimsby. This overnight stop was close to Sicard RV for an early morning drop off of Winnie for her service. Here, I, (Steve), managed to get our bikes cleaned up and had the chains looking like new!! Yay – 1^st Bike ride of the Spring season! Since Max went home with the kids we went out guilt free!

It was Awesome! Jo just loves her Bike. The views of Lake Ontario were incredible, so today we let the pictures do the talking!

The Smell of Spring!

On 2nd June 2019

Travel is like an endless university. You never stop learning.
Harvey Lloyd

Every morning is a new experience. What might we learn today? Today we head south on the St. Lawrence Seaway waterfront trail. Heading towards Prescott to meet up with the family – Jo needs her kid fix! As we were driving there, we spot a craft brewery! “Steve, turn around!” Lo and behold in the act of turning Winnie around we found a historic site we never even knew existed; The Battle of the Windmill. Apparently in 1838 there was a windmill (now a light house) and in a small rebellion the rebels took control of this windmill. But only a few days later the British came in and retook control – about 60 of the rebels were exiled to Australia. So, this explains the name of the Windmill Brewery which is just around the corner. Their flagship beer is the 1838 Pilsner – which was crisp and clean, very refreshing. We also tried the Barracks Black Lager, the Old Thyme Lemonade Shandy and the Scotch Style Maple Ale. Fun little spot to check out!!

O’ Heaphy’s Irish Pub – Now we asked two different locals where to eat in Prescott and they both said O’Heaphy’s – so how could one go wrong? Awesome time spent with family but don’t necessarily have to go back there. It was so good to spend time with the kids! 😊 Unfortunately for us, we left Max with the kids. They missed him and he just wasn’t traveling as well as he used to. Perhaps still getting used to Winnie.

On the road again and we continued to avoid the 401 by staying on the St Lawrence Parkway. On the way we found some really cheap diesel in Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory along ON-49 .

Tonight, we stayed at Lacey Estates Winery and Vineyard, another Harvest Hosts stop. Kimble and Liz Lacey were our hosts and very gracious as we tried a few of their different wines; a couple of Whites, Reds and even Rosé. They were great storytellers and very interesting people. This was one of the more peaceful and beautiful spots we have been at and the views were amazing with the fragrances of the spring lilacs so sweet in the air. The best part of all was that the campsite cost us $51 and we got two free bottles of wine! – How does it get better than this?!

Panoramic Biking Trail – Kamouraska

On 1st June 2019
