We left Gananoque this morning before 10am. However, before we left town we split up in two groups as we each had to get gas and, more important, cash for the weekend. After we finally regrouped we took Highway 32 from Gananoque heading north. Only a minute or so outside of town we had to slow down for a puppy that was wondering the road. Hopefully, the cars behind us were as careful and also managed to avoid the dog.
At one of our stops.
From Highway 32 it was onto Highway 15. We stopped for a few minutes in Crosby, at the intersection of 15 and 42. We resumed the ride by taking Highway 42 to County Road 36, then to Highway 509. At the end of 509 we stopped to look for a restaurant. The plan was to take County Road 30 to Highway 41 and to stop where 41 meets 28. However, Jim kept going and we followed him on 28 to a place called Mapleton House which is located 25 minutes south of Combermere.
That proved to be an excellent choice as the place looked great and the food wasn't bad either. Heather even had a maple milkshake from the menu. They even had a souvenir shop which was selling, among many other things, locally made maple syrup.
After lunch, it was off to the Stevenson Lodge in Combermere for the 22nd annual Fry Guys Rally. The Robinson family had been attending the rally since its inception while it was only the 4th one for me. And even the weather forecast was looking great. We arrived at the lodge around 2pm. We spent some time around the lodge and settled in to our cabin.
Then we went to Barry's Bay to get groceries. Since we didn't have a car, we only got what we thought would be enough for the next three days. Later in the evening, as more people arrived, we went back to the lodge for the annual Friday chili and hot dogs. Heather and I are looking forward to relaxing for a couple of days after spending the past eight nights in eight different places.
