July in Review

Norstead Viking Village

Day 21: 31.07.09
This morning signalled a very early start for our family. We had a 400 kilometre haul up the West Coast of Newfoundland to L’Anse aux Meadows. The drive was relatively monotonous since most of it was shrouded in a “peasouper” of a fog which did not lift until around midday. Our only excitement was spotting a real iceberg drifting off the coast of the renowned “Iceberg Alley”. It was interesting to think that this had actually floated down from the Arctic. After arriving at our accommodation: Snorri Cabins, we checked in and headed off to Norstead, a Viking Port of Trade. Norstead is a living history Viking site. We were able to glean an impression of life for the Vikings in this region over 1000 years ago. There were replica buildings with costumed interpreters who aptly bought the experience to life. We got to try hammer throwing, sword fighting and even spinning wool using the traditional Viking methods. We even joined in a game or two of Kubb – a traditional throwing game played in teams. I played with the kids and am happy to say we were victorious. It was an afternoon of fun with perfect weather. On site was a large hill which we walked up to admire the view. We stood on the very tip of Newfoundland, the wild wind whipping our hair into tangles and admired the spectacular view. It occurred to me then, that we really could not be much further from home than we were at that moment!

Gros Morne Coastal Trail

Day 20:30.07.09This morning heralded our last day in Gros Morne before leaving for Lanse Aux Meadows. The morning started off fine but looked somewhat ominous so we decided to take in the coastal trail – a distance of about 6km return. This trail hugged the coastline of the Gulf of St Lawrence and gave us a sense of rural Newfoundland and its fishing heritage. Our walk was almost done when it started to rain. This got progressively heavier during the day and so we decided to do hamburgers and fries for lunch at one of the local restaurants. Refusing to be confined to the van with three squabbling children, we located the Gros Morne pool and the boys spent a couple of hours getting their energy out. The van is a small place in wet weather and we are looking forward to the luxury of a two bedroom cabin tomorrow night at Lanse Aux Meadows.

Westernbrook Pond Cruise

Day 19: 29.07.09There was nothing unusual about the morning. It was raining and a thick fog had settled over the camp and pervaded all of Rocky Harbour. When John returned from the ticket office he was not optimistic about our chances of the Pond cruise going ahead. Hedging our bets and convincing ourselves that the fog was indeed clearing we set off to the entry site for the cruise. Upon arrival we had to walk three kilometres to the dock. This easy stroll took us through boreal forest and bog lands which were becoming clearer with every step. Our optimism seemed to be paying off. After purchasing our tickets we boarded our boat for a two hour cruise to the end of the pond and back. Western Brook Pond fjord was indeed a memorable experience. Carved by glaciers over millions of years ago, this 16 kilometre body of water is Gros Morne’s largest lake. We were treated to steep gorges rising 700 meters straight out of the water, cascading waterfalls and fascinating rock formations – a geologist’s delight. To cap off the whole experience we even saw a black bear (from a distance) and a large moose on the side of the road on our way home.

Back in Rocky Harbour we went in search of Newfoundland’s famous dish – cod tongue. After trying several take out venues we found them at Earls and immediately ordered some. The taste and texture of these delights was quite unusual; kind of gelatinous and fishy at the same time. I’ll try anything once! Nick and Em weren’t exactly fans but the rest of us soon polished it off. Being a dry night we made a campfire and toasted marshmallows after dinner.

Gros Morne National Park

Day 17: 27.07.09Today is the end of three relatively full days of travel. It’s certainly somewhat of a relief to be able to set up the van secure in the knowledge that we dont have repack for three days. After leaving Port Aux Basque this morning, we set off up the highway in search of milk so that we could have breakfast. Our search however, was fruitless necessitating a stop at a roadhouse for a late and rather large breakfast. Pushing on up to Cornerbrook on the TCH1 (Trans Canada Highway), we stopped for groceries and a visit to the bank.

Noticing subtle but scenic changes in the landscape, we passed into Gros Morne national Park early in the afternoon. This park is one of two UNESCO World Heritage Sites on the famous Viking Trail. Our trusty Montana wove in and around some spectacular mountain ranges past scenic lakes and waterways. In spite of the overcast and drizzly conditions, the scenery was spectacular. It has been said that this area is one of those rare places on the planet that transcends any superlatives. From the ragged mountain ranges rising hundreds of meters into the air to the narrow fiords, I can see that this is so.

Tomorrow we look forward to discovering some of this unique area for ourselves. We have also reserved a seat on the Western Brook Pond Tour for Wednesday.

Day 18: 28.07.09Does it ever do anything but rain in Canada? After yet another tumultuous and stormy night we awoke to pouring rain, thunder and lightning – a great deterrent to getting out of bed. We console ourselves that we are relatively dry in our trusty van and decide to make the most of the day as offered to us.

The Gros Morne Discovery Centre is located near Woody Point, about 35 minutes drive from here and we made for this as soon as we were ready. This proved to be quite interesting, firstly, because there was a cruise ship in Bonne Bay and secondly because we learn much about the geology and history of the area. Apparently the geology of the park reinforces the theory of plate tectonics and continental drift!

Heading back to Rocky Harbour, we decided it’s time for lunch and sample genuine moose burgers followed by bakeapple cheesecake for lunch. After this, we decide to visit the lighthouse at Lobster Cove. Underneath in the old residence was a museum and it provided some insight into life in the area in days gone by. The kids became a little bored and the boys preferred to construct Inukshuks from some rocks out the front whilst Em collected and ate wild strawberries and dewberries growing in abundance in and around the area.

The evening was quiet. Thank goodness for IPODS and other electronic devices. The kids dont seem to be missing television at all!

The Ferry to Mooseland=P

This is my digital scrapbooking page for the journey to Newfoundland On the ferry. The ferry was over 5 hours late for some reason and we had to sit around doing nothing really but thankGOD for the wireless internet access=P
I was so excited to go to Newfoundland because I have heard it is practically crawling with moose. I think Moose are so cute=) So I am renaming newfoundland Mooseland because of the moose population. The other night in Ingonish at the National Park, we went to a talk about Moose called Moose On The Loose. It was really interesting and we learnt how to tell if a moose was in the area by the type of poop and how the trees have been eaten at.
But when we arrived in Newfoundland and we drove to Gros Morne National Park and on the way we didnt see one moose. Perhaps we were just driving through at the wrong time of day. Well hopefully we will see one soon=)

From Emily

Ferry to Newfoundland!

 Day 16:26.07.09Ferry crossing day today! With groans and complaints, the family awoke at 5.30 am to get ready and depart for the Ferry to Newfoundland. Upon arrival at the terminal at 6.30 we were informed that the ferry had been delayed and that the expected time of departure was 1.00pm! For six long hours we tried to amuse ourselves in and around the vicinity of the ferry terminal. Just as well that Tim Hortons was but a Tim Bit’s breath away and it was there that we availed ourselves of a hearty breakfast and morning tea. By the time we managed to haul ourselves onto the ferry we were quite exhausted. The only thing that revived the kids was a lunch consisting of a hot dog and the essential side dish: fries! The crossing itself was relatively uneventful. There were movies to watch, a gift shop in which to browse and a cafeteria from which to indulge. After about five hours we spotted the bleak, rocky and treeless coast surrounding Port Aux Basque and finally docked around 7.30pm Newfoundland Time. It was with relief that we made the 28 km trip to our campground for the evening: Little Paradise. We have become quite efficient at setting up camp rather quickly and in no time at all, we were settled for the night!

Day 17: 27.07.09Today is the end of three relatively full days of travel. It’s certainly somewhat of a relief to be able to set up the van secure in the knowledge that we dont have repack for three days. After leaving Port Aux Basque this morning, we set off up the highway in search of milk so that we could have breakfast. Our search however, was fruitless necessitating a stop at a roadhouse for a late and rather large breakfast.
Pushing on up to Cornerbrook on the TCH1 (Trans Canada Highway), we stopped for groceries and a visit to the bank. Noticing subtle but scenic changes in the landscape, we passed into Gros Morne National Park early in the afternoon. This park is one of two UNESCO World Heritage Sites on the famous Viking Trail. Our trusty Montana weaved in and around some spectacular mountain ranges past scenic lakes and waterways. In spite of the overcast and drizzly conditions, the scenery was spectacular. It has been said that this area is one of those rare places on the planet that transcends any superlatives. I can see that this is so. Tomorrow we look forward to discovering some of this unique area for ourselves. We have also reserved a seat on the Western Brook Pond Tour for Wednesday.

Baddeck

Day 15: 25.07.09
Today found us once again packing the van – no surprise – in the rain of course! We decided to make a short detour to the township of Baddeck to visit the national historic site of the Alexander Graham Bell Museum. Erroneously, it now seems, I thought that Alexander Graham Bell was mainly associated with the invention of the telephone. His life and work however, extended much further than this one invention. As a teacher and most of all, a humanitarian, Bell bridged the world between sound and silence, teaching deaf people (including his wife, Mabel) to speak. He also pursued many ideas from transmission of sound on light to treadle powered graphophones. Bell and his wife made Baddeck their summer home and it was from here the first flight in the British Empire occurred. The museum tour was quite interesting and kid friendly. The kids actually had to find museum items and once done, we rewarded with an ice cream! In the afternoon we drove down to North Sydney and located our hotel for the evening. Did I say hotel? After two weeks in a mostly damp and cramped van, the room seems palatial. An indoor bathroom is positively luxurious! We took advantage of this and caught up on our laundry. The kids enjoyed catching up on two weeks of TV. Availing ourselves of the hotel’s restaurant was also a treat. We made the most of it as it will be back to the trusty van and camp food tomorrow!

Ingonish and Cape Breton National Park

Day 13: 23.07.09

What a contrast today was! After a rather uncomfortable evening of torrential rain and thunder, we awoke to find the skies gradually clearing. By the time all had arisen and we had consumed considerable quantities of bacon and eggs, things were beginning to look half decent. It was time to get ourselves a glimpse of the real cape Breton that we had missed yesterday! Our first drive was to the village of Ingonish and Ingonish Beach. Here we discovered a very short walking trail that took us around a freshwater lake. After wards, we took ourselves up to the Keltic lodge for a look around. Imagine my delight when I discovered a walking trail that led to a head land with magnificent views of the Atlantic Ocean Coastline. Naturally, we had to have a look. Only Emily & Nick grumbled but nevertheless persevered and even managed to admire the view at the end. After lunch back at the van we took a drive into Mary Anne Falls. These were quite spectacular and really provided a perspective on the amount of freshwater in Canada. The boys were keen for a swim so we went back to Ingonish Beach and Max was the first in the family to take a headlong dive into the Atlantic Ocean. Although a little chilly, the water was refreshing. They followed this up with a dip in the nearby freshwater lake which was considerably warmer. Tonight was a night for relaxation; Fine weather, good food, a beer or two. What more could one ask for?

Day 14: 24.07.09

We have now been on the road for two weeks. The days are really starting to merge. This is our third day in Cape Breton National park and we have found the time to relax. After bribing the kids with yet another ice cream we set off to conquer the Warren Lake Trail. The map indicated that this trail was 4.7km in length. In reality, when we arrived at the start of the walk, the signs indicated that it was in fact 8.5km. The kids shuddered and groaned but in generally good spirits we set off to walk around the lake in what promised to be a reasonably flat and pleasant walk. Conscious that noise keeps bears away, the boys tried to make as much as possible. Although these and moose still remain elusive, we did manage to spot a rather large toad and max almost trod on a small snake which lay across the ground at one point. It took us a little over an hour to complete the walk and we all felt quite proud of ourselves. The rest of the day was spent relaxing, eating ice creams and browsing souvenir shops. Tomorrow finds us once again on the move as we head to Sydney via Baddeck to rendezvous with our Newfoundland ferry.

The Cabot Trail

Day 11:21.07.09
As we pack this morning and prepare to trek the Cabot trail, the song: “On the Road Again” is playing through my mind. Today we are fifteen minutes quicker in pulling down and packing the van than we were yesterday. This is no mean feat but after ten days we are definitely becoming more efficient at the task. Apart from shopping for essential supplies in New Glasgow, not much else happened today. The only real photo opportunity arose at a small hamlet not far outside Cheticamp where we came across a field of scarecrows. These assorted and colourful figures litter the field and are a great attraction for passing motorists. Naturally, we availed ourselves of an unusual photo opportunity. The kids travelled quite well today amply equipped as they were with an array of electrical devices, most of which lasted the duration of the trip. Evenings seem preoccupied with recharging these in time for the following day.

Day 12: 22.07.09
Today was the day we set out to tackle the Cabot Trail. Awaking (again) to constant and steady rain, we adeptly packed the van, nimbly avoiding saturation and set off for what is reputedly Canada’s most scenic drive. It was unfortunate that we did not really get to see much of this trail. Shrouded in mist and fog and beset with steady rainfall, we pushed through without stopping at any of the numerous lookouts along the trail. Having said that, I must admit, a cloudy, misty, rainy day presents its own beauty. We were on the lookout for black bear and moose but to no avail. John nursed the Montana up and down several very mountainous sections of the trail. It was when we had to stop to allow a wide load to pass the other way that we ran into trouble. The Montana failed to gain traction and the van began to slide off backward down the mountain. We were somewhat concerned at this point. How were we going to start the car and get it over the last few kilometres of steep mountainous terrain? A park employee came and for a few moments we considered the necessity of towing. Not really wanting to wait for at least an hour for the CAA, we decided to give the Montana one last chance. Slowly gaining traction, the van edged its way up the slope – the engine complained and was very close to an angry red but pulled through. It was with a huge sigh of relief that we pulled to Broad Cove Campground to set up camp for the next three days. After setting up the van in the rain, we settled down for a quiet evening. What else is there to do but eat, drink and play electronic games? Let’s hope for a better day tomorrow so we can explore the Cape Breton trails. The kids are dying to hike and hike and hike!

We make it to Pictou

Day 10: 20.07.09

Another day another beautiful Canadian Province! The day actually dawned bright and sunny and was perhaps the hottest day we have yet had on our trip. We packed our van early this morning and headed off to sunny Island woods to board the ferry to take us to Nova Scotia. The drive across PEI was exceptionally scenic; green rolling hills and farmland proliferate. Arriving at the terminal, we purchased our ticket and waited to board. Of course, there was a gift shop. I thought it was time the family tried salt water taffy and so selected a variety of flavours for sampling. The ferry trip itself lasted around an hour and we were seduced by the on board poutine! Delicious! Upon arrival, in Nova Scotia, we disembarked and made the short trip to the small town of Pictou. After finding Harbour Light Campground and setting up the van, the boys checked out the pool as it was very hot. We then made our way downtown and investigated the harbour front. Noella, a colleague from school met us and took us on a tour of her home town. This was great as she was able to show us aspects of Pictou we would not have normally seen. We even saw a cute dear and her two babies as we cruised along a country laneway! We had (yet another) fish and chips at a great place called Murphy’s and washed these down with rather huge ice creams. Pictou is a very historic town with a distinct Scottish Heritage. We enjoyed exploring this part of Nova Scotia very much!

Green Gables and all that Jazz!

Day 9: 19.07.09

Another day in paradise! Once again we awake to uncertain weather conditions but we are not deterred. We decide to visit Green Gables itself. This is the place where L.M.Montgomery drew her inspiration for her “Anne of Green Gables” series. We spent about an hour or so in the grounds of Green Gables and the house itself. We even explored the Haunted Woods Trail. Again, this was fodder for the fertile imagination of L.M.Montgomery as she composed her stories. After this visit, the weather had cleared and it was starting to actually feel hot so John decided to take the kids to the Shining Waters Fun Park. By all accounts they had alot of fun. I decided not to go with them and took off to North Rustico to explore the town and traverse the boardwalk out to the lighthouse there. Being a maritime village, I could not go by the fish market without purchasing some fresh PEI mussels, scallops & shrimp which I subsequently cooked for dinner.

Avonlea

Day 8:18.07.09

Today as usual we awoke to overcast skies and the threat of rain. This did not deter me this morning as I was determined to take myself for a walk. I wanted to locate Cavendish Beach which fronts the Gulf of St Lawrence. The beach is located within Prince Edward Island National Park and was quite a walk from our campsite.
We decided to visit the replica township of Avonlea today and so after breakfast made the short trip tot he village. This proved to be quite a pleasant surprise. There were replica buildings of a township typical of the late 19th century. Several buildings such as the church and the school house were authentic and had been moved to the village and restored to their former glory. Although we initially did not intend to, we actually spent most of the day here. Entertainment was scheduled periodically for most of the day and we enjoyed this aspect of the visit very much. There were also short dramatic recreations of the novel: “Anne of Green Gables” which we found quite entertaining. We even dressed in period costume and took advantage of a photo opportunity.
Later in the afternoon we went for a drive to check out a little of the countryside surrounding Cavendish. After this we headed for what we thought was to be a buffet all you can eat dinner only discovering upon arrival that the restaurant had burnt down about a month ago. Not to be deterred, we found an alternative dining venue and settled for fish and chips.

Prince Edward Island

Day 7: 07.09

Thank goodness for this journal. It’s my way of keeping track of the days and dates which are rapidly merging into one another. This morning was our first real experience of packing the van in the rain – it was tricky trying to keep the interior dry and clean whilst we packed everything down. We faced a relatively short drive over to PEI today, though we took our time.

On the way we stopped at the tiny village of Port Elgin where we all ordered burgers for lunch (except Max whose dish of choice was seafood chowder). Arriving at the Confederation Bridge, we stopped for the obligatory snaps before making the thirteen kilometre crossing onto PEI. The bridge itself seems like an engineering marvel, spanning the thirteen kilometre Northumberland Strait. I was told the bridge has a bend in it to keep drivers alert during the crossing.

Immediately on arrival in PEI we were greeted with a plethora of information centers and souvenir shops. I love the whole atmosphere of tacky tourism and could browse for hours in these kinds of places! If you were not aware that PEI is the home of Anne of Green Gables you soon would have been – Anne hats, costumes, wigs, doll, magnets, books, cordials, jams and chocolates and other assorted memorabilia in abundant quantities line the shelves of almost every retail outlet we have encountered so far. We soon made our way across the island to Cavendish and the Sunset Van Park. After setting up the van we walked back to the Boardwalk for more souvenirs, delicious ice creams and a beaver tail. We have decided to eat in tonight and pursue the ubiquitous Lobster supper tomorrow evening. I am enjoying these few moments of peace before dinner while the boys are out playing mini golf over at the Park’s recreation centre.

Exploring The Bay of Fundy

Day 6: 16.07.09

Our third day in the Bay of Fundy! This morning we slept in until late and then enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast of bacon & eggs. It was a little overcast so we decided to take a drive to nearby Cape Enrage to check out the lighthouse there. After a little look around, we had morning tea before heading back into town for clams and chips for lunch. A short rest back at our van was followed by a walk along a hiking trail to Matthew’s Head where the vista of the Bay was breathtaking. We had to bribe the kids with ice creams afterwards if they didn’t complain – this seemed to do the trick. In fact, it would appear that they actually enjoyed the experience. (Not that they’d be prepared to admit it. Tonight was pretty quiet with dinner in. We pack early tomorrow morning and leave for Prince Edward Island.

These photos were taken by Max during our hike to Matthew's Head.As you can see the coastline is quite spectacular. Closer up, the wildlife is pretty extraordinary too. have a look at this giant yeallow mushroom.

We explore Fundy National Park

Day 5: 15.07.09

Life can’t get much better than this. We awoke this morning to a beautiful summer’s day in the Maritimes. After we got ourselves organised, we headed off for a day in the Fundy National Park. Our first tour was a visit to heron Cove where we were taken on a walk with a park ranger who enthusiastically explained the workings of the tidal zones within the bay. We were also given information on the variety of species which manage to survive within this fluctuating region. The boys enjoyed coating themselves with mud as they collected intertidal specimens.

It was an interesting experience made more so by meeting two other groups of Australians who had also joined this tour. One couple, from Sydney were good friends with our friends, the Artymkos.

After marvelling the merits of a small world, we concluded our tour and took the boys to a saltwater swimming pool. In the afternoon, we took a drive to Wolfe Point and explored the scenic trail which led to the beach. Dinner tonight was seafood and more seafood. We enjoyed a New Brunswick Lobster followed by scallops and shrimp. Despite the cool nights our van is quite comfortable with the added luxuries of a furnace and electric blankets! Hardly like camping at all!

The Bay of Fundy

Day 4: 14.07.09

Today we awoke to a bright and sunny morning. It was reassuring to see that the sun does occasionally poke its head through the clouds during a Canadian Summer. The kids found our stay at Jelly stone Park to be quite enjoyable and so we decided to take our time packing and getting away. Mini Golf was the go for all the family today. I took on Nick but alas, he was too good for me. He even got himself a hole in one. John played with Em and had a convincing win – must have been those accumulated years of skill from the Wellington Masters. Max played seven games and is now ready for the professional mini golf circuit.
Around lunch time, we packed our van and departed (via Tim Horton’s of course) for the Bay of Fundy. Compared to the previous two days, this was not an overly long drive. The hills took their toll on the van which was rapidly overheating on the long runs through the hills leading down into the Bay. We arrived in Alma at 4.00pm or so and soon had our first look at the bay. It was high tide so the boats were floating. The town of Alma itself is a tiny fishing village and after we made camp we took a stroll down its main street. The van park proprietor had recommended a place to eat and as the boys were keen to sample seafood chowder we happily complied. Alma has an array of lobster retail outlets which we checked out. I will be sure to insist on a lobster dinner at some point during our stay here.

Woodstock New Brunswick

Day 3: 13.07.09

After a relatively dry night, we awoke to face uncertain weather. It was our first go at packing the van and we managed it relatively easily. Today we faced another long drive to the township of Woodstock in New Brunswick. Our destination: Jellystone Park. This was an incredibly long drive and took us over six hours. As we passed into the Province of New Brunswick we switched into Atlantic Maritime Time so had to put our watches forward by one hour. I have to say, the kids behaved themselves perfectly and were very grateful to see our resting pace for the night. We were camped just next to the water slide and pool so the kids were able to have a bit of fun whilst John and I set up the van. Max has been hankering for a hamburger now for several days so we availed ourselves of a nearby truck stop and had greasies for dinner. When we arrived home, the boys played a couple of rounds of mini golf before it was time for bed. Tomorrow we hit the road again for the Bay of Fundy but not before a little relaxation and recreation at this van park!

Quebec City

Day 2: 12.07.09

After weathering a tumultuous and stormy night, we awoke somewhat refreshed and ready to explore Quebec City. This is a city we have visited previously during Carnivale and the temperature difference and overall look of the city could not be more different.
We soon made our way to Quebec City’s historic Citadelle. The Citadelle is a site where 300 years of military history meet and is the largest fortification built by the British in North America. The Citadelle overlooks the historic and scenic Plains of Abraham where, in 1759, the British under the command of General Wolfe defeated the French in a battle lasting no more than 20 minutes. This event changed the course of Canadian History, flinging control of Canada into British hands.

After a guided tour of the Citadelle, we made our way into the historic old section of the city where we walked for a while absorbing the atmosphere. Summer time in this city is a time of street performance and we were able to experience some of this. The kids barely complained and when they did, we fortified them with hot dogs to keep them going. Upon returning to our van late in the afternoon, the boys hit the hot tub whilst Em and I took it easy reading and generally relaxing before dinner and bed.

Our Journey Begins

Day 1: 11.07.09
Today we woke early to finalise our packing in preparation for our long awaited camping trip to the Maritimes. After having driven to Gananoque yesterday to pick up our trailer, we subsequently spent all afternoon packing and preparing the van. After years of tenting it, the camper trailer seems very luxurious. From its queen size bed, fridge and indoor lounge area to its automatic winder, we hope it will be a great arrangement for the next seven weeks.

With the kids safely ensconced in the back, up to their ears in IPODS, PC games, books, food and other essentials designed to keep them quiet, we headed up the 401 for Quebec City, around 8.30am. It was a slow drive – we were worried about the load our trusty van was pulling so we pulled in to Juneau Chalets Camp Ground (just in time for the rain), unpacked and settled in. John’ expert trailer backing ability was showcased for all the family to see.

By 5.00pm it was really raining and at this point, it looks as if it has settled in for quite a while. What’s a true camping trip without rain? At least we can lie in our luxurious beds as we listen to the constant pitter patter on the roof of the now obviously waterproof trailer and ponder what lies ahead for us over the next 48 days!

Max has a Birthday

Prince Edward County

Today we took a drive down to Prince Edward County. This is a picturesque area about an hour West of Kingston. I wanted to visit the small township of Wellington. I thought it important to have a phot here as John and I lived in Wellington, NSW for a while, and, in fact, were married there in 1990. Wellington is a small tourist town on Lake Ontario. we visitied its beach so the boys could have a swim. They found the water to be very cold but bravely dived under the small waves.

We wandered around the town for a while and found the most fantastic playground for the boys. On the way home we stopped at an ice cream place named "Slickers" for some delicious local fare.

Canada Day

Bennett's Lake
