Preparing for the journey…

As we prepare to head out…today the cat!

Puck, our cat, has been an indoor cat for some time and now has to get a certificate for travel across borders. So off to North Heritage Animal Hospital in Owen Sound.

How does he know?

That is the unimpressed look of an unhappy cat. Once home he hid for about six hours and is still a little off…we’re holding off on the flea and tick medication…now done.

Next came packing… and the bicycles…

Packing for the trailer was challenging.

Packing the truck

Linda has bought a beautiful blue bicycle from Bikeface in Owen Sound and needed a hitch bar as well as a water bottle holder and I needed new brakes. So off we went … rushing to get all this done before we left. Then after all that packing, attaching them to the truck.

We started our journey to the Chi-Cheemaun at 4:30am…for a 7:00am boarding…we pulled in as scheduled at 6 and waited in line for ship to eat all the cars.

That was all so much fun…but it made me hungry so we stopped at High Falls…yes, it’s true that’s the name. You don’t see it until you get there, but it’s a pretty falls.

Once we’ve settled into the quaint cabin in Serpent River Campground with Linda on a swing and Puck still a little jittery inside.

Looking forward to some fishing and our next day’s travels…

    • Soon to come Nick – we don’t have it yet and as Escape had sent us build photos I will post some as well. 🙂

  1. Happy trails kids! Looking forward to following your adventure! BTW, is that actually a case of Lindemans in the back of the truck?
