We put the miles on this weekend. A good friend from childhood, Marise lost her mom on June 4th so we had to make a trip back to Cambridge on Saturday for her funeral. We had a great drive up to Port Elgin but set up at camp didn't go so smoothly. The automatic leveling jacks decided to quit working after it had raised the front tires off the ground about 6 inches. Now what do we do? After trying a few things we placed a call to the dealer and fortunately they had the same issue the day before so it was quickly explained what we had to do. The breaker had gone on the hydraulics and it needed resetting. We just had to find the lever but they really could not explain what it looked like. After the problem was solved we headed to Southampton to pick up my order of my favourite hot chocolate. We took a drive to Denny's Dam but left there quickly as the mosquitoes were unbearable. We headed to John & Joanne's to check out the finished renovations and then to the Enchanted Fusion for dinner. We had a great evening and got back to camp late so no campfire that night. Saturday was off to Cambridge for the day. I was able to visit with a few friends from childhood and catch up on news of there families. We arrived back to MacGregor at 6:30 and took a tour of the park to check out the sites. We enjoyed a relaxing evening in front of the fire. Sunday was a quiet morning at our site and in the afternoon we did some hiking before heading home at supper time.
The mosquitoes even bite the turtles.
