Yesterday after we arrived in Hastings Patti and I went and did a little exploring.
Their flower pots and baskets were all over town and beautifully planted and maintained.
The town had only one stop light, but they had everything we needed. We visited the LCBO, the post office and the grocery store. We couldn’t help wondering what anyone would do with this many marshmallows.
Lots and lots of s’mores we guessed.
After a nice dinner aboard Salvage Crew we were treated to a beautiful sunset.
I will never tire of those.
Up and away from the docks at 7:30 this morning for a 40 mile ride up to Peterborough. Most of the trip was in winding rivers.
This mallard swam by with her string of peepers.
The Canada geese are plentiful and these thought it was a good idea to have a parade.
Purple loosestrife appears in the area. At one time it was feared that it would take over the marshes as it is so invasive, but so far doesn’t appear to be the problem that was feared.
Again, Canadians show the pride in their country. What a great canoe.
We only had one lock today and it was at the very end of the day. We locked through, turned the corner and Peterborough was welcoming us.
We look forward to spending a day here tomorrow and seeing the area before taking off for another three day run.
