We received some sad, but not expected news at the beginning of the week. John’s oldest cousin Reg had passed away at the age of 65. The funeral service is in Stratford on Saturday. John decided that instead of travelling between Kemptville and London 4 times, because we are attending the Fickling Family reunion on July 20, he would take a weeks vacation and camp in the area. Finding a site was challenging, only because we have never camped in the area. But finally the decision was made. Dalewood Conservation Area, part of the Kettle Creek Conservation Authority. Kettle Creek….that’s the development were we live in Kemptville. Site 106 was the choice. John left Kemptville at 06:30 and was on site by 14:30. The traffic, especially through Toronto was non existent. Some parts were a little bumpy though. Stephanie will join him next Friday.
