Our Location today is New Hamburg, Ontario.
After having a whole day to recover from the food poisoning
we both managed to get a better nights sleep and woke feeling almost as good as
new. We did keep breakfast light with coffee and cereal because neither of us
really had much of an appetite. Once we were finished eating we were full steam
ahead with packing up the inside of the trailer.
As Kathy was finishing the breakfast dishes I headed outside
to flush our tanks before we hit the road. I had nearly finished draining and
flushing the two forward tanks when Kathy finished loading her supplies into
the truck. She is always trying to learn things that have to be done in
preparation of leaving in case the day were to ever come that she would be the
person having to do it. This attracted the attention of the gentleman named Moe
next door who had seen me prepping the truck on Wednesday night and wondered
why we hadn’t left. After a pleasant conversation and well wishes he said he’d
best let us be underway.
In the next ten minutes we were hooked up and Quadruple
Checked to make certain nothing was forgotten such as Monday. By the time we
were exiting the driveway we both said at the same time we were hungry. Guess
we worked harder than we thought. Stopped at the intersection we were looking
at the Husky Truck stop where we’d eaten last night and said it was time for
lunch.
With lunch finished the truck turned eastbound on the 401
Highway because we had an awesome plan in mind. Unfortunately our G.P.S. couldn’t
seem to understand why we weren’t heading in the direction of home and decided
to give us the silent treatment. That’s right silent like not vocally telling
us directions and by the time we realized this we had already passed our exit
ramp and were stuck on the highway for another nine and a half miles to the
next exit. Continuing with the silent treatment the typed directions took us
down gravel buggy trails but we found our campground.
The Holiday Beach RV Park is a quaint trailer park with a
dense tree canopy that is so low we now have a small tear in the edge of our
roof to prove it. They did give us their largest sight but we did have to roll
a few small boulders back in order to back in between the trees. Once we were
backed in it didn’t take long to unhook the truck and set up the trailer and
then we left.
Kathy nearly went into a state of shock when the G.P.S.
started shouting out directions again and within five minutes of being back on
the road we were arriving at Camp Awesome. No you won’t find a sign for a
campground with that name but if you are a follower of George and Suzie Yates at Awesome Travels you’ll know exactly where it’s at.
When we arrived Suzie had just returned from visiting her 98
year old grandmother in the hospital and George was out cutting the grass. Their hosts John and Lea are hosting a
special gathering tomorrow. We were enjoying our conversations that varied from
RV choices, to our travels, to WiFi equipment, to future travels. We were then
given a tour of Camp Awersome and even were introduced to Molly and Buddy who
have been giving Susie her daily puppy fix.

The time was just flying by and George and Suzie asked us to
stay for supper. By doing so we got to see the “The Weber “Q” Man of Blogland”
in action. Suzie also present Kathy with a bag of books to read and then Kathy remembered
the books she had planned on giving Suzie were still back at the trailer so we’ll
be stopping on our way out in the morning. George even offered an appetizer
that thankfully Kathy declined though I accepted. He gave me one of his famous Suicide
Pepperonis because I like spicy foods. This was so spicy it brought tears to my
eyes. Man that was good!

All through the meal we continued talking and receiving a
wealth of information from these experienced fulltimers. After getting the
grand tour and learning a few more space creating modifications I’ll be using
both George and I realized the visit had to end because it was time to write
our blogs.
Supper is Served. |
After saying farewells with the promise of crossing paths
for future visits we headed for home. Again a big Thank You George and Suzie
for an Awesome Visit with an Awesome Couple the meal was delicious and the
company was superb. Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a
comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
