It has been sticky hot these past few days for us preparing to head out. We have the army run once again in September so it’s probably a good thing to start running once more. Even when it’s too hot to run.

Once the run was over we gathered all our stuff ready to pack.

The next day I started loading the truck.

It’s a challenge creating crate room and still having room for the cat cage and the dog.

It’s going to be tight and I am not sure if we’ll be able to have windows open with such a tight space. We ended up using the AC all the way to Toronto. I don’t know what that did to the fuel consumption relative to open windows.

There was a horrible fire on High Street in Carleton Place and the above photos are of the fundraiser that had a solid turn out and good donations.

Havelock Ontario had railway and still has a CP mini-yard. That also means a pretty good place for a trailer to pull over and for us to take a nice walk for the dog.

The old train station has a nice little restaurant attached to it. I think next time we’ll stop in and have something to eat. This time we had the remainder of an apple pie in the trailer.

Hector and I had a nice walk beside the track watching all the trains parked there and all the graffiti.

Nice rest stop- hard to get back into the traffic on the westbound on this busy Sunday.

Thanks to wonderful friends we were able to park in their driveway overnight. Level and easy access to what we want to accomplish tomorrow.

I love sushi and staying at our friends driveway gave us the opportunity to use the back yard for a calm and relaxing dinner and prepare for tomorrow.

Thanks Kim and Diane…we look forward to seeing you in a few weeks.
