Short travel day, easy border crossing, and camping with good friends.

Where are we today ? 
clic a pic to enlarge it
      We at 50 Point Conservation area in Ontario this morning had a great sleep, and as usual up early , got a few walkabouts done and were ready to hit the road just after 9 am no rush today.
spotted this black lump in a tree,
zoomed in, it's a black squirrel
       Only had 44 miles to go to the campground. we got to the border crossing at 10 am as I predicted. Very easy crossing like we usually have. 5 min wait. No issues at all. were you going ? Lewiston NY for the weekend then Arizona. Do you have any meat? Yes we have a freezer full of pork and fish, no problem. Any produce? 5 lbs of apples, no problem. Any citrus, nope. Alcohol? One bottle and a few beer, no problem.  Have a good winter and away we went.
        First stop not far was Smoking Joe's to fill the gas and our car. $2;50 US a gallon . That is .83 cents a litre in Canadian funds, compared to the $1.20 we were paying at home , so saved a big chunk of cash here. We Took 50 gallons of fuel like we saved $69.00 CDN just on this fill up alone.
always stop at Smoking' Joes when we cross here
good ideal on propane tanks too
          We arrived at Lazy Lakes resort  before 11 am , got all set up  and visited our good friends Bill and Barb for bit then enjoyed a nice light lunch. This is another membership campground (part of our Rock Glen Resort Membership) that we enjoy, so free camping with  water, sewer and 30 amp service. Works for us.
all set up here nice campsite
       I ran a few errands to pick up supplies and get some food deals, Then home to Visit with Bill and Barb again for Happy Hour.
always nice to see these guys again,
last time was Pilot Knob Resort in California in February 
      Lots of campsites getting set up for this weekend a big Halloween celebration here that they do every year.
one of many, I will take more pictures over the weekend
        Back home for supper, I preheated our Weber Q 100 and whipped up a salad. for a tasty supper.
not long on our Weber and done to perfection
so very tasty
sure hit the spot
a nice easy travel day only 44 miles
        Perfect weather sunny and warm up to 75F but was windy, still the sunshine was wonderful and supposed to be like this all weekend. We will hang out here for a few days having fun with our friends and enjoy more of this great weather.
        Thanks for stopping on by and hope y'all had a great fall day as well.

  5. So this year, is only fish and pork allowed into the US? We have had uncooked chicken taken before both entering and leaving the US. What about beef?

    1. I think beef would be ok as well, we had cooked chicken, but her did not ask. We don't much worry off they take it we can always get more. I think only goat or lamb is not allowed right now.
