Day 28: Parry Sound

 Dear Gilles, 

We left your folk's place at 9:30 and stopped off in Alban for kolbassa and cheese curds. The cheese curds were placed at the cash register as impulse items. 

Then we headed south via Hwy 69. 

We passed the big sign saying the highway was closed. I should have believed it and back tracked to Hwy 11. 

We were stuck for 90+ minutes before we reached the accident scene at Brit.  There were pockets of vehicles, including transports getting through - so I figured they were at single lane alternating. BUT it was 15 vehicles at a time - super slow. At least Hwy 97 has figured it out and lets through big chunks of vehicles around an accident scene. 

Once we were through, we hopped down to Parry Sound City Hall. They came through with a Parry Sound pin. Tail gate lunch on the waterfront. 





It started snowing as we got closer to Barrie. We abandoned the visit to LegoLand in Vaughn as it was getting late and we were headed in to rush hour. 

After sitting in the truck all day - I opted to take the 407 toll highway ($20 bill coming our way to home address). It saved time across the top of the city, but we lost it all with volume going south. 

Back in the evening and out of the truck for a day.
