I’m picking up my motorhome the last week of May, and I need to map out an itinerary. Heidi’s, up in Oro-Medonte, halfway between Barrie & Orillia, has a unique offer: with the purchase of one of their motorhomes, the buyer gets two free nights at their attached campground. How brilliant is that? I just know that they are going to cover everything I need to know the morning I pick up the rig, and within 20 minutes of my having driven off the lot, I’ll have forgotten 90% of it. But this way, I’m just next door, and can go trotting into the service team with 15 questions that all start with, ‘Remind me how I . . . . .’ Excellent.
After 2 days up there, I’ve decided to head southwest. I was so impressed by Essex County when I took the train to Windsor last year, and I’ve never been to Point Pelee, so why not spend a week or so tooling around Southwestern Ontario: close to major urban centres, but different from what I’ve seen before.
