The Long Sault Parkway was supposed to be our first night’s accommodation (I’m so glad it was closed š). It was a nice quiet ride and also gave us an indication of the wind we’d face the whole day.
Cornwall
Penny found us a great place for lunch (a lunch that would visit me for a few nights). A rest in the park across the street and we’re pretty much ready to press on – I’m realizing that our late departure (no regrets) is starting to catch up to us.
We continue following the St. Lawrence into the aforementioned wind stopping for frequent breaks.
An outhouse was required and discovered at the Copper Conservation Area. I think Penny and I were about to lose it as Charles engaged with a birder who was going on and on about birds and boating and…
We leave Penny at the DQ in Lancaster while we go for the night’s groceries. Now we’re all tired and the wind has increased so we break into two-kilometre sections with each person taking turns pulling. This made a huge difference getting us to our Airbnb before dark.
Kim and Mike
Our hosts are terrific people who teach us all about the inland canals cut into the St. Lawrence. Part of Mike’s job is operating a barge to harvesting seaweed from the canals – did you know it grows one foot a day?
