GREAT LAKES WATERFRONT TRAIL.PORT GLASGOW, ONTARIO

Went exploring a bit of Ontario’s west coast and south shore. All pretty much new to me. 

I’ll find it classic country for a tour. Thank Kate for the transfer to Owen Sound. Later for the lift home after we rendezvous in London. Didn’t really stick to the exact route, but we’ll call this the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail. The post titles correspond to my days end and on route. 


Rolling out of Leamington.
Haven't seen so many Mexican restaurants....




Bringing a catch of Lake Erie Perch, Whitefish, Pickerel,...






There was much going on at the Port Glasgow marina but was was happening was fine.





Over the next couple of days I'll visit Port Stanley, St Thomas,... before riding to London where I'll meet Kate and catch a lift home
Thanks Ontario!!

Ahmerstburg Cycle Tourist Baptismal.
Well my best laid plans of staking some grass behind the closed visitors centre took a rather wet turn for the worst this morning.
At six am I was woken. It wasn't one second later that I heard a hissing and thought oddly I was getting a  flat when the lawn sprinklers came on.
It being a warm night, I slept without a fly and it wasn't five seconds later that I and most everything inside was soaked.
Perhaps ten seconds saw me out and dragging everything out of harms way.
After moving and settling back in, another sequence at my new location went in place.
Repeat and then pretty much resign to its time to get up.


Fortunately it was a beautiful morning and let the sun do a job.






Starting to pass some north shore wineries and vineyards.




Must be getting close to Leamington.
The greenhouse capital of and Canada.

With their migrant workforce, this factory farm has been in the news for the wrong reasons.

Spent a couple of nights in Windsor hiding from the heat.
Pretty much only place I back and forth to was
Fred's Farm Fresh.
Go there.



After a little exploring and liking Ahmertsberg on the Detroit River, with respect I'll stake my tent for the night at the visitor's centre thats closed. 
Will spent a quiet, a bit hot and humid, evening enjoying some local perch while watching the some lakers pass by.

One would hope that an quiet evening would lead to a quiet morning.
I did say "hope".
