Stu & Tippy's Travels

This Blog will be used to document the travels of Stuart and Tippy Reid as we travel this beautiful country in our motorhome. We will hopefully be able to share our experiences in words and pictures and allow our friends and family to enjoy them with us.

Leaving Barrie

The pictures below are from the Settlers' Ghost Golf Course which was only about five minutes from our RV park. The course was only about 6600 yards from the back tees but it was also pretty hilly. Guy and I played from the blue tees, about 6300 yards, and that was perfect for us. We both shot 43 on the front, me with two doubles. and then I shot 40 on the back and Guy shot a nifty 35. The back nine had three par 3's, three par 4's, and three par 5's. I really like that split and variety in holes.

Monday night Tippy and I went to the restaurant at Settlers' Ghost and had a wonderful meal. Tippy had a seafood pasta with an outstanding sauce and I had a halibut dinner that was quite delightful. On Tuesday we took the coach to Freightliner for service, took Alex to the groomer, and Tippy and I went shopping and out to lunch. They finished the coach on time and we picked Alex up at 1:30 and then the coach and returned to the RV park before 2:30.

Wednesday morning we had a pancake breakfast at the KOA and then departed to Niagara Falls. We had a short 140 mile drive to Niagara Falls but we had to get through the Toronto traffic which wasn't really too bad. We had two areas of slow down stop and go but we finally got through it and on our way. From the "Its a small world" file as we drove down the road, about 40 miles from Niagara Falls, we come up on Jerry and Jackie in their motorhome. I told Tippy that looks like them up there and sure enough we passed them and then talked to them on the CB.

We all got settled at the KOA here in Niagara Falls (NF) and the girls went out to see about a pedicure. Well they came back in a couple of hours and had already completed the pedicures. I have arranged for Jerry and I to play golf at two nice courses here in NF and we will play tomorrow and Friday mornings. Tomorrow we play a course called the Legends and Friday the Whirlpool G.C. We will then do some touring in the afternoon and go out to dinner tomorrow night, I am told.

Tonight we will grill steaks and have corn we bought in Barrie. The corn was actually picked while we waited in the farm store. They also had tomatoes that are delicious! I guess I had better shuck the corn so more later. Be safe.
