Summer 2023

We visited with Mickey and Donna McQuay and went to many places in the area. One was the eternal flame, if you're ever in Buffalo area look this one up nice hike and it is amazing. We had lunch at barbells, famous for wings and Wreck, a loaded roast beef sandwich. Notice the sign this is in an old type five and dime store. We also went to the canal area in Buffalo. We were able to get on a destroyer and also a ship and a submarine. We left Buffalo and traveled to Lackawanna State Park close to Scranton Pennsylvania Because of a tropical storm we did not go to the Jersey shores to visit Patty and Tom. We had five days of rain. We did one adventure lab that was in a cemetery. Never seen a cemetery with so many crips and they decorate them for fall Had to put these two in because this is their first pre-kindergarten pictures. Eden and Olivia Smith

We camped at weekly provincial Park and made our way to the wineries to the west of Leamington. One was Crew, we have visited here before with Pam and Don Sturm. Wine is good. We had a very good lunch at the beach house in kingsville. On to our campgrounds for the rally. It was Riverside Park right on the Niagara River parkway Made it down to Niagara on the Lake which has beautiful homes and many wineries in the area. This is a very busy place during the weekend. Make sure you walk down to the river nice walkway Here are some pics from the campers that attended. We rode our bikes on the bike trail that follows the river down to Niagara Falls about 7 and 1/2 mi each way. For about a hundred years this barge was further up on the rocks. It is now moved and rolled over. They doing very nice job of flowers in the area around the falls on the Canadian side.

We only traveled about 60 miles to Sterling State Park. Going pass Toledo. We had to stop at Tony packos. This is Michigan's only park that is on Lake Erie, very nice River raisin national Park is located in Monroe. Nice displays and a good movie explaining the massacre at River Raisin. The movie would be good for older kids. At algonac State Park we were part of a fiberglass trailer rally. There were 81 fiberglass trailers and 14 Casitas. The park is located on the St Clair River and ships go between Lake St Clair and Lake Huron. Today we are leaving the United States via a ferry from algonac. We will be attending another rally the next weekend at Niagara falls on the Canadian side.
