Lovely Colours at KOA in the Sault!
I am writing this toward the end of Oct... But better late than never.
Derek and Dennis - Good to see him.
We enjoyed our 2 night stay at the KOA in Sault St Marie. We found that they were a bit penny-pinching. We paid for a site (which included up to 6 people, but were annoyed to find they charged our friend $5 to visit us and sit at our picnic table for a few hours to chat... They were un-moveable and, although they have a nice campground, we felt annoyed after we had paid over $50 per night for the site, them $50 for a trailer/tow vehicle weighing service, and purchased an expensive tire pressure gauge. Nice people, but not customer focussed.  Would think twice before going again or recommending. Rant over!!!
Strange sunset on way down to Milton
Camped for the night in Braden's driveway
The weather was lovely, and the colours at their peak, as you can see from the photo. We left there, planning on staying over night part way down, but once on the road, the closer we got to 'home-base', the more excited we got about getting there... so we just kept driving and driving. We had the idea of staying at the Truck stop in Milton, but Braden said we could park in the driveway at his place... so we pulled in about 8pm and were absolutely thrilled to see Braden. We sat down to a quick pasta / meat sauce dinner together and watched a bit of TV before settling down for the night .... happy, safe, cosy, and glad to be 'home'. Ahhhhhhh!!!! Looking forward to getting to Milton Heights Campground tomorrow and settling down for a month or so.
