Camping: Day 2
Day 2 was split between whether we would go for a hike (there are five different trails of differing lengths that you can go on at the park), and going canoeing on the Saugeen River. We decided to go down to the beach and see if we could find a canoe launch.
We started off by going down to Lake Huron and a beach just inside Port Perry, took a few pictures out on a little point and a few more on the beach (including one that should really turn out well of Carley that I don't think she knows I took…). The sun was out in fits and starts, so we both had a chance to get a bit of colour before we set up to find ourselves a canoe launch - which proved to be highly unsuccessful. We drove around in all the possible directions we could, but wound up not finding anything. We asked at the sign-in place at MacGregor Point and she told us there was a really good one right inside Southampton - right on the way home! So, we decided to do it after we'd packed up. More on that later.
Now, of course, we still had a few hours to fill, so we decided to go for a hike on the Tower Trail, which was only supposed to take an hour and a half, but we wound up walking "one kilometre" to try to meet up with another trail. One kilometer. Yeah. Right. The trail was gorgeous, though - even if there were a lot of bugs. We saw three turtles, Carley saw two deers and I saw one of their butts. Ha! Other than that - a lot of bugs.
By the end of the whole hike, we were both pretty exhausted, so we retired back to the campsite, and built another fire - which actually worked on the first try this time!We had teriyaki chicken for dinner with some very fine pasta, and had more s'mores. We got into bed just in time, though, as the wind picked up quite a bit, although, surprisingly, it didn't bring a storm along with it like we were expecting.
So, that was day 2.
