Cambellford,Ontario To Hastings,Ontario

After five enjoyable days in Cambellford we departed lock 12 at 1200. Arrived at Lock 18 in Hastings at 1700 hours. Cruised 21 miles and 6 locks. A beautiful sunny day.
A wonderful friend in Campbellford took us on a tour of the town and surrounding areas. We visited the Church Key Brewery, the cheese factory, the Worlds Famous Chocolate Factory, and many other interesting stores. We attended an outdoor concert on Wednesday evening with country & rock and roll music. On Thursday early evening our friends from Madison, Tom and Mary joined us to continue our cruise on the Trent Severn. We were so happy to see them.
From Tom & Mary: Hello to Family/friends, Uwmf co-workers & Sunset Bay Marina folks. We arrived At about 5:00PM on 7/31 - wine time!!! Friday 8/1 we went to the chocolate factory & filled tins with chocolate - more fun than slots & I've got pictures to prove it. Today we went thru 6
locks. It's not like the locks on the Mississippi. It's so relaxing, peaceful & beautiful. Life is good!!!!!! Be sure to click on the left side of blog for location. More tomorrow.
