Getting ready for winter

Our winter camping is set to begin this week with our arrival in MacGregor Point PP. We had originally planned on arriving on Tuesday October 30th to begin the setup and help our friends prepare their rig for winter as well. However, hurricane sandy has changed our plans as it is now supposed to rain until Friday and with our past history I am not working on a wet rubber roof 12 ft above the ground in the rain, call me chicken if you must, but I don't bounce well anymore. Our new plan is to arrive Thursday and begin the setup of our rig Friday and Saturday with the help of our kids and friends then help our friends the next weekend. This is all contingent on the weather of course. We will keep you posted as we go.

Algonquin Park Rendezvous

Well it has been a long time since our last post, but we have been in a very poor reception area and unable to get a good signal. That changed yesterday when we purchased a Bell hub. We now have a very good signal and should be able to post from most locations as Bell has the widest coverage area in Ontario and especially in rural areas. Kerry and I have been busy this past week with hiking and other outdoor activities here. The weather has been perfect for hiking and boating and biking cool and not too humid. We have enjoyed many meals with friends both in our new trailer and at others trailers as well. We have had our children and grand kids with us for a weekend early in September.
