Heading Home from Fergus

Sunday, July 25 & Monday, July 26

 

 

Hamilton, Ontario, in the distance.

 

 

These waterfowl were too far away to tell exactly what they were, but they appeared to be cormorants. There were hundreds on every small island, peninsula, or piece of land near the edge of this lake.

 

 

We were glad that we were heading southeast – rather than northwest because of this traffic jam.

 

 

 

 

About the same time, we saw this barge leaving the lock and ready to head through the drawbridge.

 

 

 

 

The traffic jam lasted for miles.

 

 

Our final destination on Sunday evening

After supper in The Bordertown Grill we relaxed in the living quarters of the chapel – then set up the comfortable sofa bed air mattress where we slept well until morning.

The view in front of us

 

It was a pretty Monday morning as we got back on the road. Before long we were at the USA/Canadian border – which went smoothly.

 

 

We enjoy this small, country restaurant (on Route 63) between Batavia and Genesee, New York, and stopped here for brunch.

 

 

If I had captured this painting at the correct angle, I could have fooled you into thinking that the back doors of this truck were open.

 

 

I enjoy this trip in late July/early August, as the trees are heavy with leaves, and the roadside has lots of blooming wild flowers.

 

 

 

 

We almost always take a break at this roadside rest when driving south on Route 15.

 

 

 

 

 

On a clear day you can see for miles and miles.

 

 

  

We saw grazing deer several times throughout the day.

 

 

 

This country town has a creative way of encouraging you to keep plenty of space between you and the vehicle in front of you. There are lots of signs that say, “Keep two white dots between you and the vehicle in front of you.”

 

 

 

And by mid-afternoon we were back at TFC’s International Office – where we started six days earlier.
