This morning was an early start – on Saturday my friend BN, who is joining me for the first two weeks of the trip, brought over a bunch of her gear, and some food. Dear God, the food! My fridge and freezer are each jam-packed, and there’s at least 3 grocery bags of dry goods on the dining room table. Okay, that’s great – it’s good to be well prepared. But then yesterday she texted me to ask if I liked sauerkraut. Yes, as a matter of fact I do, but that’s not the point. My question is – where on earth are we going to put it? Sauerkraut? We already have more chicken, salmon, rice, and celery than you can shake a stick at. Seriously, this woman could train survivalists on how to stock their bunkers.
But back to our get-away this morning – we aimed for a 9am departure and we did it. That was due to the fact that both of us were up before 5am – we were exhausted before we even started.
Beautiful day, beautiful drive. Port Elgin was cute but as it was a Monday – pretty much everything was closed. On to Southampton – great lunch at Minh’s Vietnamese, then some shopping.
Red Bay Campground – the host was probably the chattiest campground staffer we’d ever met – lovely lady, but after 20 minutes of idle chatter, we both wanted to get to the bathroom.
BN spent three years in an RV across North America, but she seems to have forgotten how to get into an over-cab bed (‘nuff said on that subject – thank goodness there were no photos!).
