Back among the Digital

We have come out of Ontario, into Buffalo, New York.  Our phones and MiFi systems work once again.
 
We drove past the fairgrounds where our Nomads group will be holding our annual meeting next week, but it is too early for us to park there now.  Instead we’ve parked at a county park about 20 miles away.  There are about 60 camping sites here, but only one other is being used.  We expect this location to be very quiet.  As I write this, 2 deer are eating their way through the park.

 
Our Canadian route was a good choice:
-         More Tim Hortons than we could possibly stop at
-         Nice locals to chat with at the TH in London
-         Saved about 120 miles (over the Ohio route)
-         Only one toll bridge, but less cost than OH+NY tolls
And Best of All
-         No political ads on TV

 The only bad part was the cost of the campground where we stayed last night.  It was an older park, and in marginal shape, but the cost was the highest we’ve paid since we hit the road over 20 months ago.

We’ve been able to see all 5 of the Great Lakes and the Welland ship canal (used by ships to bypass Niagara Falls) since we left Duluth.
