Toronto North/Cookstown, Ontario

June 27 to July 27/2013 Summertime weather in Southern Ontario, tends to very humid and it has been.  We are running our A/C to keep out the dampness.

We have traveled to this area to be closer to our four kids that live in Toronto and for a very special occasion,,,, a new granddaughter!
Iyla Skye came into the wonderful world on June 23.

  In the last week we have been able to see her quite a few times as our campground KOA Toronto North/Cookstown is about 25 miles away.  We like this campground for its amenities too and nice big pull thru sites.
 
This is a great central spot for visiting Toronto with our kids and grandkids and doing some nice motorcycling riding on our free days.  You can use this as a base area and head in 3 directions, East, West and North.  We recommend not south as you will be into the Greater Toronto Area before you know it and it is NOT biker friendly riding.

We found a nice twisting road following a river bed and then we dropped down towards Orangeville and followed the Hockley Valley Road.  It seemed "all" the other bikers and bicyclists had the same idea.   We were riding alone and then all of a sudden we came upon a group ahead of us and voila!   There is a ski area so you know the road is going to have some nice scenery.  We stopped in the little town of  Hockley at the General Store and Cafe.   It was a great bite to eat and perfect spot to watch bikes coming and going.
