Yes, we are still riding all around Ontario. So impressed that Ed knows so much about trails and roads around here. A great ride except for the short city leg. I avoid traffic when possible so I voiced my opinion that I really didn’t mind riding the bike trail back.
We rode the waterfront trail that I had been riding on since Burlington. This eastern end of Ontario is so much nicer. No going off into overgrown fields on gravel. A delight to ride and so glad I got to do this part.
My little friends along the trail. These were what I’d call teenage goslings. Much bigger but still so cute.
Well,I guess the third pictire doesn’t want to be seen. Can’t seem to upload it. But these are pictures of buildings in a town that was to be inundated by water when they built the Seaway dam near Cornwall. This was to allow ocean going ships to go to the Great Lakes. This all happened back in the 50’s. Six towns were relocated and eight islands were formed. To me this is disgusting. All in the name of progress, yeah. So if buildings weren’t relocated, they were buried under water. Even the railroad was affected.
This town of Moulinette is now a historical museum of the buildings with the stuff inside from that time. The church was particularly cool with the pews and organ just as it was. And the schoolhouse with the desks, book shelves and piano. Makes me mad that ‘progress’ displaced so many people.
We are camping tonite in Iroquois. So fun to camp with Ed and Willma. Brings back memories from the Odyssey days. The wind is a little obnoxious but we have perfect temps and clear blue skies with a really nice grassy spot to pitch our tents.
