Nestor Falls Travel Blogs

Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

Port Huron and Niagara

North America » Canada » Ontario » Nestor Falls

Port Huron KOA
It had tons of stuff but way too crowded

We had two huge KOA campgrounds in a row. In Port Huron we ate dinner at the Angry Bill and then rented a 4 person bike to cruise around in. Brendan drove like he was in Mario Kart. Then it was across the border where we were searched and had to go through immigration (not like the last time). Went to Niagara falls after dinner and Brendan and I went into the haunted house. Very dark and scary. [View Full Entry]

Trying to Get Some Wind!

05 aug '07 Huge rock formation south of Nestor Falls, Ont

Trying to Get Some Wind! Sunday, 5 August 2007 After yesterday’s near-waste of the day (I probably COULD have gone on the bicycle, as traffic had been no worse than what I’ve already seen), I really wanted to bicycle today. So I asked Bob to drop Silver & me off at the plaza mentioned in the previous journal. That way I could avoid having to begin the ride with a long hill (something I try not to do), and he & Panna could go for a walk along the nicer of the two trails suggested to us. Then, about 4 hours [View Full Entry]

On Foot

04 aug 2007 1st fish caught by Bob in 30 years, Nestor Falls, Ont

On Foot Saturday, 4 August 2007 We had been told by Mary that the traffic on Highway 71 on Saturdays was pretty hectic, as Saturday is traditionally the day that week-long cottage stays end or begin, so we decided I should avoid bicycling today. Bob had laundry to do, plus I wanted to get some groceries and some more wine and/or cider. Fortunately there was a small shopping plaza nearby that made all of the above possible. While he started the laundry I took Panna, and we went for a walk along one of two trails recommended to us by Mary. [View Full Entry]

A Shorter Ride to Lakeview

North America » Canada » Ontario » Nestor Falls

A Shorter Ride to Lakeview Friday, 3 August 2007 Today was another moving day, so we all “jumped” into Casper (after Bob loaded everything into the van) & drove together to the place where Bob had picked me up yesterday. There he dropped off Silver & me, so that we could cycle to Lakeview Lodge, our next destination, near Nestor Falls. We didn’t know exactly where it was, but most of these sorts of places have signs on the highway indicating where they are, so I wasn’t particularly worried as to our chances of finding it; the question was whether or [View Full Entry]
