We started the morning driving along the shore north of Niagara Falls, through small towns like St. Catharines and Niagara-on-the-Lake. But, we soon turned west again, leaving the shores of Lake Ontario and Lake Erie and heading towards the eastern edge of Lake Huron. We paused in Cambridge Ontario to get some lunch, have the oil changed in the bus (yes, another 5000 miles have passed by) (that’s 8047 kilometers to us folk up north), and visit a coin-op car wash to have the most recent layers of road dust and insects knocked off the bus.
We finally made our way to a small town on the shore of Lake Huron named Port Elgin, where we camped at the MacGregor Point Provincial Park. We took some time that evening to walk along the shore of the lake. There was no sand at all, but a tumbled field of rounded stones about the size of a cantaloupe, many with gentle swirls of color folded through the stones.
