Day 1 - On the Road

And we’re off…!

We’re off to a great start. We arrived at the Monticle office early at 7:30, excited and ready to go. There were clear skies and fair weather and with a few final preparations, we went to buy food for our next few meals.

We had our Dim Sum lunch outside the supermarket where we bought our groceries. With a beautiful taro cake, we wished our awesome fun-loving elite member Vivian a happy birthday! :D

Back on the Sprinter we got caught in some traffic; but it was alright, since the scenery outside was definitely worthwhile.

The promise of rain threatened our plans to camp out tonight, but the cloudy skies soon cleared, and revealed the sun.

We finally reached our destination of Grundy Lake Provincial Park…to find that it was full! There was no more space at all in every park in Ontario for the entire weekend! Can you believe that? So we decided to find a motel to stay at.

After stopping at a motel with, guess what, no space, and there would be no space for the next hour and a half drive! We didn’t have dinner but we had refreshments, and before we found a place to stay for the night, we filled up at a gas station.

When we finally got to the motel, we had lectures on wildlife and vehicle safety. We’re ready to take on the grizzlies now! (Kidding :D)

Once we get our good night’s sleep, we continue to head west tomorrow!
