Trial run

 Well, less than a week has passed and I'm back here already. This past few days have been a little hectic as we try out the trailer in a 'real campsite setting' as well as get on with other things in the normal course of our lives, especially now that the provincial borders are open.

Wednesday saw us head to Voyageur provincial park on the Ontario/Quebec border where we set up camp without any trouble except to initially forget to ensure that the trailer was level side to side. A little to-and-fro-ing and a few plastic blocks later we were leveled.

We spent time re-organizing the trailer and exploring the park on a couple of walks, one of which took us to the smallest of four beaches in the park and another took us to a larger beach just a couple of minutes too late to get a perfect sunset shot.

We had managed to previously re-schedule our Covid-19 2nd shots from August to 25th June but, after booking this camping trip, then managed to re-schedule the shots 8 days earlier which fell neatly in the middle of this camping trip. So, after a leisurely morning we headed back up the highway, past home and into Ottawa for our shots then back down the highway to the campsite.

Friday morning was a walk in the woods before packing up and driving back home.

Come Saturday morning and, yes, you're right, it was time to head back down the highway, past Voyageur Park and on to watch our youngest granddaughter play her first soccer game which she proudly won (with teammates help) by 3-1. How did I not get any pictures? It was also a chance to reconnect with family on the Quebec side of the border that had been closed for a while for reasons you probably know about!

After some shopping it was time to finally get back home and repack the trailer ready for a bit longer of an adventure......watch this space :-)
