| Nottawasaga Bay with the Niagara Escarpment rising behind - in Meaford |
It was recommended to me that a chip shop in Sturgeon Falls had the best Poutine in the province, so I was all set to "bite the bullet" and give it a try. The shop was closed. I missed out.

If I hadn't been driving slow, we'd have had Kentucky Fried for dinner ...

| North America's Smallest Jail - Creemore |
The Creemore Jail built in 1892, measures 15 x 20 feet on the outside and contains three small cells. The story has it that the first prisoner was a cow and after that, it was used mainly by men who had too much to drink, until the 1940s.
An 8.5-acre park is the final resting place of Canada's most famous dog, Beautiful Joe. In 1983 he gained notoriety when Canadian author (Margaret) Marshall Saunders submitted his story of abuse and rescue to a contest in the US by the Humane Education Society and won.

When you are taking a coastal sightseeing tour on a Sunday, you better plan on the whole day! And don't even think you are getting near the water without paying for the privilege. I drove over 300 miles looking .... Oh, and every one of the towns had a curling club.

| The Big Nickle / Dynamic Earth |
The largest coin in the world, The Big Nickel is a replica of the 1951 Canadian five-cent coin, built in 1964.
Dynamic Earth is an interactive science museum focusing on the geology of the earth. It also has an underground tour (7 stories below the surface) of mining changes during the past 100 years.

| Lake at McRae Provincial Campground |
I managed to find 3 days mid-week available at this campground. I was feeling really tired and just needed some "veg" time. I watched some movies, read a couple of books, did some housecleaning and now I'm ready to hit the road again.
Well, I bought some extra hot spot time and managed to be current with my blogs. Thanks for your patience.
My next stop is Toronto and Niagara Falls. I'm pretty excited as this will be another bucket list item. I've never been to the Falls before.
