On The Road Again - Jane's Cottage

July 5th,06
Darlene and I finally manage to leave Burlington about 3:00 p.m., after making our first detour to buy a foam pad to go under our Themarests because my back now complains in the morning if it senses that it’s been abused.

We spend the first night with Jane Daw, a former teaching partner at J. M. Denyes Public School (We obey its golden rule!) at her two beautiful cottages on Lake Muskoka and meet Stephanie, her daughter and Sam and Riley,two wonderful Wheaton terriers.

Morning finds Ian sticking his foot in his mouth yet again, but Darlene forgives him and we set off for Sudbury. But first a side trip to Huntsville to find Karen Pearce’s cottage. Karen draws a great map, but labels “Falcon Rd.” as “Falconlodge Rd.” We drive a little further than necessary seeking the impossible but eventually have enough sense to look at the map and disregard the words.

Karen gets a birthday present! All she has to do is find it. It’s located somewhere on the cottage property.

In Sudbury, Darlene renews her OHIP and we push on to Les Chutes Provincial Park on he North Channel. Nice camp site but LOTS of mossies and I see an early night.
