It's been pouring rain and dramatically cooler the It's been pouring rain and dramatically cooler the past few days where we live in Ontario. Wet weather is always a big part of the fall season here, but this cold, damp air and lack of sun can bring you down when it lasts for days on end. But with this chilly weather comes comfort foods like soups and stews that are on the horizon. While we enjoy wine with dinner, it is nice to have different beers that can complement an autumn meal. So, while in Collingwood, we swung in again to visit @sidelaunch as they regularly have a great selection of different beers to try, many of which can only be purchased at the brewery. It wasn't too hard to decide that it would be easiest to load up a mixed case of each item that we could try. The cherry wit was quite refreshing with a hint of sour cherry just at the tail end. The coffee lager was rich in coffee aroma and a creamy dark larger with some sweetness added by lactose. Rainy, cold days don't make for excellent Patio Weather. That said, the province is beginning to ease up on indoor COVID restrictions allowing businesses to ease back into full capacity. I'll admit, it will be nice to enjoy a meal out again and visit places, but hanging out in big crowds is not something we are all ready for just yet. Here's hoping people remain civil and courteous with each other as we move through this next phase of modern history... #craftbeer #craftbeerontario #ontariocraftbeer #ontariocraftbrewers #sidelaunchbrewingcompany #sidelaunchbrewery #rvbeer #rvbeers #tincancottage #beertourism #beertourist #rvontario #collingwoodontario #rainydaybeer #shoplocalcanada #collingwoodcraftbeer

Hiking Elora Gorge is a fabulous (albeit somewhat Hiking Elora Gorge is a fabulous (albeit somewhat challenging) experience.

We try to set off on walking adventures whenever we go camping, and sometimes they lead us to hikes that push the limits of a “casual excursion.” We have all agreed we to come back in the spring during high water to see the difference a snowmelt run makes. The watermarks on the limestone sometimes show levels over 9 meters (30ft) high! 😳 #eloragorge #eloraontario #eloragorgeconservationarea #ravinehike #ontariohikes #hikeontario #rvadventures #tincancottage #exploreontario #fallhike #fallhikes #conservationontario #rvhikers #traveltraileradventures #hikemore #rvcampingontario #rvontario #rvcanada

    If you’re having a hard time booking a campsite for the 2021 camping season, you’re not alone. Just last week Ontario Parks reported a nearly 100% increase in reservations compared to this time last year!  With COVID restrictions likely to remain in place throughout the summer, camping - especially RV camping - is one of the few ways we can safely travel.  We love Ontario Parks, but If the perfect campsite is eluding you, here are some provincial park alternatives to consider. Ontario Conservation Areas Some of our favourite campgrounds are found within Ontario Conservation Areas. And there are plenty to choose from within a short drive of the Greater…
