We were going to stop near Toronto for a couple nights, do one of the 2-3 hour city tours on a sightseeing bus. A guy I chatted with at the last campground, near Woodstock, said he used to drive truck and that Toronto had the worst traffic of any major city he'd driven through. He advised driving through the city in the middle of the night. No can do; we sleep at night. We both hate driving after dark anyway.
.
The guy wasn't wrong though, 8 lanes of traffic going each way bumper to bumper, a 30-mile parking lot. And it was raining, which didn't help a bit. Been raining forever seems like, getting sick of it. Anyway, given the traffic and the rain and the fact that the nearest campground was several miles out of town, we decided to skip the city tour and keep on truckin'. We have a freebie Ontario campground guide in which Trish found a remote spot back in the woods, fine for one night, has good wifi.

Most of the private campgrounds in Ontario are 85% seasonals. People have 'park models' or RVs parked permanently, with covered decks snugged up to them. It's like having a summer cabin at a reasonable cost in a community of similar-minded folks. It has it's pluses but I think I'd go apeshit in that environment: no travel, limited privacy, not enough to do.

Today we head into Quebec Province, get a chance to try our French: Trish knows 6 words; I know 3. That should do it. I'm pretty good at charades so am not concerned. Oui! Magnifique! Voila! That's my 3.
Bon Chance! Hope the sun starts to shine soon for you.
