The morning was not what we had hoped –
still overcast, rain off and on with more rain supposed to be coming.
After admiring both the rain and the
Canadian soldiers that were plastered all over the boat, the decision
was made to move on. Guess our nice SUNNY ride through this area,
known as the Bay of Islands, wasn't going to happen – at least not
today.
It was still a nice ride – we still
have hopes for tomorrow when we leave! Whitefish Falls really a step
back in time. We're tied to the town dock – there is room only for
us and a small boat in front of us – with no power or water but
that's not a problem for us.
The small river is lined with cottages
and lodges – very reminiscent of the 1960's on the Trent. Steve's
family vacationed at Scotsman's Point cottages on Buckhorn Lake (on
the Trent) about the same time my family was traveling the Trent on a
boat. It isn't unreasonable to think we might have crossed paths on
this lake so far from both of our homes. How amazing!
We passed a fun garage with cool signs
on the way to River Lodge. Just a throwback to the 60's :-) This was
on the way to River Lodge where we were headed for lunch.
The lodge was open for breakfast and
lunch today – serving homemade perogies. How could we turn that
down? What a fun place though. Log cabin throughout (not like Warren
and Elin's on the farm though) complete with a great room with a huge
fireplace. Just a fun place for lunch. The wool blanket draped over
the couch was just like one my parents used to have – probably
about the same time frame I would guess.
Tomorrow the plan is to kayak to the
falls about ½ mile up the river and then head out – assuming the
weather cooperates :)
