We went on an adventure today. Tom wanted to see “The Hole in the Rock.” So, we headed out with our trusty map to find a hole….in a rock. We traveled through the campground following said map and it’s a good thing Tom has better navigation skills than I do, because I was sure he was going the wrong way. We crossed over a very tight bridge for the truck but we made it okay. No mirrors were murdered in the making of this crossing.
We arrived at the parking area and the sign pointed to the left for the hole. So, we took off walking. We watched people tubing down the river and the best part was when they entered the water and sort of just fell in. There was a family with two adults and two kids. They put the kids in first, which I thought might have been a mistake. I told Tom, one of the adults should have gone first and one take up the rear. I guess it’s all those years in child care. We saw them later and they were all fine.
We continued our journey along the path and arrived back at the very tight bridge. I told Tom this isn’t where the hole in the rock is. So, we checked out the bridge, took a picture and headed back the way we came. We got almost to the parking lot and I said we should go down where we had seen people earlier. So, we walked down more steps and I said maybe this is the hole in the rock. (The first picture).
The tree growing out of the rock was pretty amazing as well. Then I googled “Hole in the Rock, Ontario.” A very similar picture to the last one above came up. This was in site of the parking area. So, we bypassed the hole and took a little hike. You can see the hole at the top of the stairs. Sort of anticlimactic, really. But it was a nice morning out in nature and the temperature wasn’t too bad. It’s gotten a little hotter today than we’ve had in awhile, but is cooling off nicely this evening.
We’ve enjoyed watching people park their RV’s today, too. That’s full time entertainment for sure. The best is the wife telling the husband how to park and he doesn’t listen. Kind of like Tom and I. Weirdly, we looked out about a half hour later and that couple was gone and another trailer was in that spot. I’m not sure what happened. They did sit out on the road a long time. I’m guess they moved. I want to know where they went. Tom said he’d drive around and find them for me, but that’s a little much. Our neighbors to the right of us left this morning wearing kilts. The people two doors down couldn’t back up well so he had to pull into the spot across from him. My silent Tom was judging him like nobody’s business! I’ve been Mrs. Kravitzing it all day. Well that sure dates me. Maybe some of you remember Mrs. Kravitz from Bewitched.
We went to the Canadian Walmart Supercentre. By chance I found the British section and stocked up on teacakes. I haven’t had any since we were in Scotland. Come to think of it I might have ordered some from Amazon when we returned. They are the most heavenly marshmallow covered chocolate. I’m betting they would do well on a graham cracker over the fire. I may have to try that.
We really like this campground and if you’re heading north I would recommend a stay, even for just a few days.
We’ve had a lovely journey today. I hope you’re journey has been a good one as well.
