Where are we today ? 
 clic a pic to enlarge it
        Even cooler again last night 50F at 5:30 this morning. Had my oatmeal coffees and computing, no walkabout today my lower back is bothering me. Need to see my Chiropractor soon put everything back in place, it has been a while.
        So puttered around getting ready to hit the road this morning, satellite dish stored, coach secured, car hooked up and on the road about 9:20. no rush only about a 90 minute drive today.
        Checking our google maps find there is some construction and detours. This is summer in Ontario road work, detours, and we enjoy these detours , mostly roads we don't normally travel so some new interesting scenery along these back roads. New towns and some nice rolling hills.
our scenic route today
leaving Rock Glen resort
all good roads and new scenery
      We pulled into John's ( Camp awesome) and worked on setting up, enjoyed a light tasty lunch . Suzie got a text from SIL Sandy , they were at Shakers restaurant in town with her Dad for lunch so she went and joined them for a coffee, I chatted with John for a bit, He was sharpening the blades on the mower, knowing I was ready to mow some more lawn here. Thanks John.
       I set up our satellite dish, and Weber Q, secured our awning and hopped on the mower to check out the sharp blades , wonderful, sure does a  nicer job now. So I carried on a bit and mowed the centre section of this yard about 1/3 of the 5 acres. I like doing this part because I can do it in a circle from the centre out just keep going round and round getting dizzy then larger until all done. looks kind cool when it is done.
       A comfortable 79F with a cool breeze and sunny skies and wonderful day as summer is winding down.
mowing around the edges
then the circle getting karger each pass 
        About 2pm Suzie was home so I parked the mower in the shed and joined her to relax in the shade, Read for a while then a quiet happy hour today, just the 2 of us no doggies here.
here we are set up at Camp Awesome
 so much space and quiet here
love the view we have here from our Patio
    Soon time to whip up supper, tonight doing a whole chicken on our Weber Q that we enjoy. And felt like our Swiss chalet dipping  sauce, perfect for the chicken done like this. The chicken was on sale the other day 6  bucks for a 3 lb bird, pretty well 1/2 price we can do this at home.
we do enjoy this sauce, only in Canada so
 will stock up before we head south
about 80 minutes and done to perfection
tender, juicy and crispy on the outside
low and slow on our Weber Q
added to our salad sure did the trick
and lotsa leftovers
soon some soup
       Now we can relax out side in the shade finish this posting and more reading time until it gets too chilly then inside for the evening. I took our blue flame heater out of storage and hooked it back up again.. So that if it gets too chilly inside we can enjoy a bit of heat without the noise of our furnace watching tv later on. The nights here are getting chilly again, fall is on the way.
        Thanks for coming of by and hope y'all had a wonderful day as well.

  1. What is your winter destination? Is blue flame a brand name? I guess I can check it online. Looks like a good weekend and now I need to find someone to bring me some of the mix you use on chicken.

    1. Hi Chris, we will end up in southern Arizona, Quartzsite, Yuma area, boondocking wherever Dec to Feb, This Blue Flame is a Hearthrite we bought and had installed in Quartzite at RV Lifetyles, they sell a ton of them there. If we meet up somewhere I can bring some, usually have a few packs on hand,

  3. Definitely an awesome camp! Sure nice to have all that space. Those were nice looking roads you traveled today. Seems here on Vancouver Island, whenever you travel it is bumper to bumper cars. Ontario has so many more people but yours and Al's photos usually depict empty roads.

    1. It is an awesome camp that's why we call it that. There is so many wonderful good scenic back roads here in Ontario, we like to stay off the highways where all the traffic is. Much more relaxing drive.

  4. To think that the last time you were here it was so hot that you all had to take a dip in the pool.

    As usual your dinner looks so appetizing.

  5. I like to split the bird along the middle of the lean side, then put a foil wrapped brick on top. Cuts down on bbq time.

  8. That mower looks almost as much fun as my dirt stuff. It's sorta like a motorized wheel chair. Maybe Stew would like doing that? :O)

    1. It is fun mower to operate, 3 wheels and a T bar handle. Stew might if he could get on it and it was fitted with hand controls.

    1. Thanks the circles are more fun mowing this area.. We love that sauce you can buy on Amazon.com but very pricey there.
      Nice and quiet here we enjoy it.

  11. We enjoy the back roads as well. As we left Yellowstone we chose some local roads (county/state highways) to get to our next stop. Some of the most beautiful farming ground, rivers and mountains we've seen as we drive across the country. We do use the interstate, but we sure prefer these backroads. You really have some wide open area to enjoy where you are parked. Do you see much wildlife (deer, etc.)?

    I saw Swiss Chalet dipping sauce is on Amazon. I'm going to try some of it. We love roasted chicken and we need to make one soon!
