Ottawa Canada Day 22 Oct 8

Returning from their secret meeting...

We were on our way to visit old friends, Hugh and Pam. We had expected the roads to be fairly quiet as it was the Canadian Thanksgiving (They can beat us at hockey and sailing but I draw the line at stealing our holiday. Is their no end to the abuse)

Proving that they do not deserve this holiday, our neighbors actually celebrate on Sunday so that they can return home on Monday. But given that lack of respect for our holiday the traffic was light for the most part.

Our Camp Ground was the Ottawa Municipal park, a really nice location. As is our habit, we went on a walk to explore the park. We came across a trail in the middle of the woods that had lighting. I have never in all my hiking life ever seen a lighted trail deep in the woods so we decide to investigate. Every 50 or 60 feet another lamp. This was spooky. Finally, an opening in the woods and what appeared to be an outdoor theater complete with benches and a stage. It was all run down but you could feel the ghosts of past. My best guess was a secret meeting place for the KKK. Yes, the Kouncil for the Kollection of Kollectables would meet here to hear about items that in the end would land up in their garage . What a place .

Pam and Hugh provided the wine and apple crisp (yummy) and we provided the fish and luxury RV dining locale and a great evening it was.
