ETD now Thursday morning.


Making great headway. They are at Longpoint Provincial Park, now. That
brings back some great memories. When I was a boy, we camped at Longpoint
Provincial park in our little teardrop pop-open camper my dad built.

It was our first camping trip into Canada. The guy taking our rental app
says, "Do you want 'hydro'?". Dad had no idea what he was talking about so
said he did. We found out later "hydro" means electric power, so that
worked out good. It was cold at night and that little electric heater came
in handy on the "hydro". I think the campsite cost us about 75c and
"hydro" was an extra dollar. I suppose that would pay to walk across the
park, now...(c;

The satellite images look like they have nice camping spaces, now. It was
just an open field with some power outlets in those days of the early
1960's.

Well, back to sea....Everything must be running great to make this headway.


I hope they stay fairly well off the point, I nearly ran aground there
last year as the sand-bar had shifted, at least according to my chart
it had.g I doubt if $1.75 would get you much there now Larry, I
think it's about $9 just for a reservation. It certainly is a lovely
place to camp though, been there many times with the kids.
