Our trailer repair shop installed cheaper tires on her two years ago, and now 3 of them are failing. 😩

The highlight is the new air compressor we bought over the holidays.  You set the pressure you want and can walk away!  It auto stops!  Yeah @canadiantire!

How do you like how close together the trailers are parked?  I can even get the side door open all the way! 😄

This artwork is from our incredibly talented cousin @debbaillieartist 

Her skills and creativity continue to astound us, and we LOVE her work. Here is a bit of what she had to share:

"This ocean painting now hangs in a beautiful sun-filled kitchen nook in Australia. 

Thank you to my amazing client for entrusting me with this special project!
For some, it may represent anxiety, for some, it represents strength and resiliency. The power of an ocean. The power of renewal. With each wave comes a new emotion and a new chance to refresh and re start.

Water is my happy place. I’m continually in awe of the beauty of water in its calmest and most turbulent states.
To me .. water is a metaphor for the rolling changes of our day-to-day life.
As we roll into a new year ..Let this remind you to ride the waves and experience the refresh of each new day…you hold the power and beauty of the ocean within you."

If you love her work she does commissions!

Beach 1 in Wasaga is much less crowded during the winter! 🥶

The recent winter wind storm whipped up the water and created a pretty amazing looking ice dam at the shore between the beach and Georgian Bay water. 

I used crampons to walk out on the ice for pictures and should have yelled back to stop a couple that was following me. A missed step and he splashed down into a puddle on top of the ice.  I then heard her proclaim “that’s it, I’m going back to the car!” 😆

Smart trees have taken advantage of the stream wat Smart trees have taken advantage of the stream water passing by them. 🌳 

This stream runs along the valley near our place and the surrounding trees have sent roots in to tap the fresh water. The red roots of the tress fill the stream that is constantly trickled with water grooming them all to flow downstream. 

The flowing red roots offer a big contrast to the large brown roots that surrounds the stream. 

A little pice of nature that made my hike interesting 😁

    Camping Tips

    Can’t find a campsite? Try these great alternatives.

    February 21, 2021 /

    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…

    If you’re looking for a place to camp near Toronto, we highly recommend the campground at Bronte Creek Provincial Park.  Camping at Bronte Creek is perfect for visiting the Greater Toronto Area. The city is just a short train ride away, eliminating the hassle (and expense) of parking in Toronto. In the other direction, Niagara Falls and the Niagara wine region are less than an hour away. We have so many great things to say about Bronte that we’re going to split this review into two parts. In this first part, we’ll talk about the Bronte Creek campground. Read on to learn more or jump to our campground summary.  Bronte…

    Campground Review: Valens Lake Conservation Area

    December 3, 2019 /

    Valens campground, located within Valens Lake Conservation Area, located between Hamilton and Cambridge, Ontario, is one of our favourite local campgrounds. Read our review to learn why or jump to our summary. Valens campground location Valens Lake is a short drive off Highway 6, sort of between Hamilton and Cambridge Ontario. It’s an easy drive to get there, even when towing a big rig, with paved roads and good signage. Valens campground is a good distance from main highways, so road noise is not an issue. However, if you don’t like waking to the sound of cows mooing in the distance you may want to “moove” on. As with many…
