A.M. - Checked out of Niagara County Camping Resort near Lockport, NY. Bought some groceries at Tops Grocery. Continued into Lockport so we could see the Erie Canal locks system. We found the locks in downtown. The Erie Canal system starts where Lake Erie reaches Buffalo, NY and flows all the way to Hudson River near NYC. (See attached Pic)
Rolled out of town in the rain headed west toward Ontario, Canada. We were unsure of the cost of diesel in Canada so we topped up the tank in Sanborn, NY (located on the Tuscarora Indian Nation).
P.M. - We crossed over the Lewiston bridge into Canada around 5:00 p.m. We think this crossing may have been on Monday. As we were crossing over Lewiston Bridge we looked down to our right and saw the stage and the park where we saw the Starship free outdoor concert the night before!!
Going through Customs was pretty much a non-event. I guess we looked harmless. We punched in Toronto on the GPS and headed out. Traffic was fairly heavy but moving well considering the time of day. We wanted to spend a little time in Toronto, so we stayed the night near Oakville, on the western outskirts at Bronte Creek Provincial Park (campsite pic. attached)
It was a very fine example of a place to camp. Clean, large spaces, quiet, clean restrooms & showers, lots of greenery & birds. I’m sure we’ll seek out more provincial parks along our route.
First impressions of Ontario, Canada are all Thumbs Up, eh?
