Eastern Ontario GTG
Hi all –
How does Oct. 1st look to you? I’d like to put an Eastern Ontario cruise together & have a couple of options in mind. If the members west of Kingston take Hwy 7 to Sharbot Lake, I can meet everyone at the Esso Station there. We can then travel some backroads to Westport & over to Newboro for lunch & some unique shopping – a good restaurant & great little country type store – it’s one of my wife’s favourites and I’m sure that the other ladies will enjoy it as well. We can then backtrack a little to Westport & head south to Kingston. Down to the Bath Rd. & along the lake to the Glenora Ferry where we’d cross to Picton in the county. We can hit the Lake on the Mountain for a quick coffee, then head back through the County to Trenton where those west of Belleville can take the road of their choice home at the end of the day
2) Reverse the trip. We can all meet at a Tim Horton’s in Brighton & head down into the county. There’s a couple of spots for lunch in the area – informally in Picton or more formally there is a restaurant at Lake on the Mountain (Lake on the Mountain isn’t really much to see). We could then head towards Kingston from there via the Glenora Ferry, and then people can decide whether they want to continue on up to Westport etc. or pick up the 401 & head back.
I’m looking at a night in a hotel no matter what, so I can be flexible. If others also want to overnight it, then we can plan for a couple of days.
We should have some fall foliage by then, though, so the backroads north of Kingston would be starting to look pretty.
Let me know your thoughts – can go, can’t go, option 1 or 2, 1 day or two. Most votes win.
Thanks
John
