FALL COLORS TRIP SEPTEMBER 14 - OCTOBER 16, 2010

Thursday, September 9, 2010

Days 21 - 23

September 6, 2010
Sault Ste. Marie, ON to Sudbury, ON. As we broke camp this morning, it began to rain. We left the North shore of Lake Superior and started along the North Shore of Lake Huron, but we only got brief glimpses of the Lake, due to either distance from the water, or trees blocking our view. The majority of turnout areas are only suitable for cars. We had on and off rain for the better part of the day. This was just an overnight stop.

Sudbury, ON to Toronto, ON. We had some on and off rain overnight, and just as we were getting ready to leave the RV Park, the skies opened up. For the first 75 – 80 miles of today’s trip, we had lighting, thunder, and torrential rain. After the rain stopped, we had partial sun. By the time we reached Toronto, it was mostly sunny, but that didn’t last, as the forecast was for afternoon thunderstorms, and the skies began to cloud up again. The temperature when we arrived was 86 deg, the first time we have been above 60 deg in over a week. We also got internet service, although it is very slow, so we were able to do some catching up.

Toronto, ON. Today we woke up to on & off showers, wind, and a high temperature of 65 deg. We headed into the city area of Toronto. Lots of activity going on. It kind of reminded us a little of New York City. Lots of residential buildings as well as neighborhood shops & stores. Also a lot of new and remodel construction that created a lot of traffic problems. Went to the Provincial Legislature building. Saw a lot of the sites in the city center, as well as along the Lake Ontario waterfront. We just drove around, because there is no easy to access parking, and with on & off rain & wind all day, it was difficult to get out and just walk around. Tomorrow, we are off to Ottawa.
