Relocating with a nice country drive today.

Where are we today ?
clic a pic to enlarge it.
        Hey we get to secure our coach and head on down the road again. Nothing we like much better other than visiting with friends and family for a while. We had way too much fun up here with Bill and Patsy, Rob and Pat, Gerry and Melinda, the wedding and fun times with our friends. But we also like to move on down the road. New places, new faces, new scenery this it what our lifestyle is all about and we both love every minute of it.
       After a quick trip into Durham to stop by Rob and Pats' to say thanks for everything back home to get ready to hit the road.
       Had a comment on yesterday's posting about travelling on a holiday Monday and traffic.  We have travelled all these back roads and small towns for years and never a problem at any time.
       We left the Ridge at 9:45 this morning and arrived in Plattsville at 11:30, very little traffic only one slow down in Millbank Ontario. Check out the picture below.
Traffic slow down in Milverton
So nice to follow these guys down the road
love their lifestyle too
Patsy and Bill see us off,
now they have the Ridge to themselves again
thanks guys for your hospitality
love this place.
loving these country roads so scenic and peaceful 
        We arrived at Camp awesome in Plattsville, by 11:30 got set up and enjoyed a nice lunch by noon. Perfect.
      Then just puttered around a few walkabouts and enjoying this wonderful weather getting some quality reading time in on our e-readers.
this is another awesome place we enjoy
           Before we know it time for supper, so I fired up our Weber Q, preheat our cast iron pan with a bit of oil while I whipped up our tasty salad that we both enjoy.  Split a large Basa fillet pan fried  and grilled a thick slice of fresh lemon (makes it much juicier).
10 minutes done to perfection 
sure did the trick
       We really enjoyed our time there with Bill and Patsy up on the Ridge , what a supper couple. And`another thing we will miss about their place, they have all supper is the amazing sunsets, That we usually only get in the southwest desert, These 2 pics below were taken last night, Sure was an wonderful send off for us. Making us really want to return.

  8. There's nothing like a drive on those back roads especially when there's no traffic and plenty of light.
