June 13 - 20/2018 Weather - we had a record breaking heat wave day..... most of the week was gorgeous travel weather but Fathers Day was 96 F and it felt like a 100! Phew, lucky the pool was open at the KOA in Cookstown.
We like coming to Cookstown to setup our basecamp then go downtown TO to see our adorable grandson who was 6 this weekend! Where did the time go? They live as far into Toronto as you can get, just a few blocks from Lake Ontario. We could not get our head around taking the motorcycle down there so we rented a car. What a smart idea, once in a while we have a brilliant moment. Haha. Our rate was so reasonably priced that we could not possibly drive our own vehicle from the farm to Cookstown and back for the cost of the rental.
We always bring our motorcycle as the hilly terrain in this semi northern Ontario area is pretty country to ride in. One day we rode all along Lake Simcoe, another day we rode along a river to the quaint town of Creemore famous for its craft brewery and another day we went spooking around the backroads of newly planted potatoes and rolling farmland. The wildflowers are bursting in the road sides right now and the sweet smell of clover was heavenly. Bottle that smell!
Oh and gosh have a cone or cup or even the whole tub of Karwartha Dairy ice cream. It’s part of the Ontario summer diet! The best part!!!😀
