Sunday morning in Dryden Ontario

Was a nice drive yesterday from LA,  Broquerie Manitoba to Dryden, windy but dry most all the way. When we arrived there was a market setup in the middle of the road to the campground, so we took the roads less traveled, with all the bumps and lumps till we got to Nature's inn campground just in time to see Gerry come walking towards us, hands up letting us know to go no further till we decided which site we'd go into. Only so many big enough for our trailer he told me. 

I chose a decent site with all services, and we setup, with an invite to come and have a visit with him and his wife after we setup. So Polly and I went over to register and pay, Karen, Gerry's significant other said come-on in, want a coffee ☕, just put on a fresh pot. Well that was a nice welcome, so we sat and had a coffee with them, and yaked a bit, seeing we were about to head in the same direction, towards Florida for the winter. 

We had a really good yak, and after paid the night's fee, and connected on FB so we can see each other as we travel, possibly meet in Florida too. Their trip south includes a trip to Greece, so of course we are interested in how that goes. 

Is fun to meet others on a similar journey, even if a little different, they have a trailer here, and another home in Florida, so no towing as they travel south. Many stories to share though, we look forward to meeting them again along the way. 

We really like the visits we've had so far on our journey east, every place another fun time, and another fun group of people. La Broquerie was a really fun time with John and Julie, along with their families, so many laughs, such really generous welcome, and see y'all later times. We will return in a couple years for sure, was a really great time. 

Is still windy here, but I'm going to empty the sewage, while Polly has a shower, then dump the water, and likely we'll leave for Thunder Bay. I saw a forecast calling for some snow in the future, wanna make sure we don't get caught in any of that before we jump the boarder. Looking down the road, another hurricane 🌀 is headed towards Florida, so our plan might change as we head south, always nice to have the ability to change up as we go. 

Inside on a wet windy day, it's hard to talk myself into going out into the weather, but I will.

Love our life ❤️ of travel 👍
