June 20, 2010 Kakabeka Falls for the Weekend..then eastward!

We finally decided on Kakabeka Falls Provincial Park for our weekend camping trip. We hadn't camped here in about 10 years. Still a nice park but really illustrates why we don't camp at Ontario Provincial Parks - $34.40 a night for an unserviced site, although it did have showers.
We were running a little behind schedule but still managed to get setup and have the wine bar in operation by  2PM.

The modifications for the galley worked out fairly well - things need to be packed just a little tighter to accomodate the bouncing from the single axle. The curtains worked out well for the weekend and gave the privacy needed with the large windows in the door. The duvet needed to go in a larger cover but other than that everything worked out well. We had a rainy weekend  but Shannon had brought her dinging shelter so we were able to stay dry.

It was Shannon's birthday so what would a birthday be without a cake!

And of course what would camping be without a campfire and hotdogs. Shannon and Kaelynn cooking a hotdog.

Home again Sunday afternoon. Unload gear from this trip and reload for the next trip. Tomorrow morning we leave for the East Coast. We tentatively plan on driving along the south shore of Lake Superior, then down the east coast of Lake Michigan and then over to the Atlantic Coast and then north to New Brunswick. We hope to be at Marla's mothers house by Canada Day and spend a few days visiting. Then we will have to figure out a route home! Should be home mid to late July! I'll try to update the blog periodically but it will depend on Wi-FI along our route.
