Day 69 Campbellford Total miles to date: 1291.0
We left the lock wall at Glen Ross #7 this morning when
it opened for us at 8:45. Our Time had
caught up with us and locked though with us. We went through five more locks
and arrived at Campbellford, Ontario at 1:15. We tied up to the city wall
downtown for the afternoon so we could browse through the shops. Campbellford
is home to the World’s Finest Chocolate Factory Outlet store and we did not
leave empty handed. Bill insists some of it will go into the freezer! Then we
visited one of the bakeries that is popular here (and with Loopers) and picked
up muffins and bread.
The Tooney |
Campbellford is
home to the Tooney! This is their two
dollar coin which was designed by a resident of Campbellford. It is in the
center of their park where we are docked downtown.
The City also provides free wifi at the town dock, so
Joyce could at least take care of all things needed on the internet (including the
update of this blog!Carried Away and Boreas in Campbellford |
We will move to the lock just past Campbellford before
dinner and spend the night there. We will go to Hastings, Ontario tomorrow.
