Wednesday, September 11, 2024, Riverside Park Motel & Campground, Niagara Falls, Canada - 133.2 Miles, 591 Miles for the trip.
Another cool night at 49°F, and even colder for the trailers - the power went out around 8:40, and never came back on before we left this morning. A park employee said it was out for the entire city - a problem with a high tension power line. My propane furnace is set 2 degrees lower than the thermostat on my electric heater, so it was 60°F at the head of my bed. The Guido's furnace decided to not to make any flame. They had not used it in a couple of years...
I used the inverter to grind & make my morning coffee, and left the campground with the batteries at 89%. They were full by the time I hit Riverside.
Most of the drive was on 3, either Ontario 3 or smaller local 3's. We arrived at the campground around 2:30.
I'm in site 41 and the Guidos are in 42. Both are full hookup sites on grass, close to level, and plenty of room for both the trailers & tow vehicles. $412.45 Canadian for 5 nights, or $82.49 per night. US prices were $305.00 or $61.00 per night. They only take cash & the owner figured the exchange rate at .734 Canadian to US. My credit card at the restaurant gave me a .736 exchange rate, so the park rate was OK.

The site photos are a little dim because I didn't take them until we got back from dinner. Notice that one of the hummingbird wind chimes is lit.
After setting up we spent the rest of the afternoon chatting & hanging out. At 5:45 we headed to Betty's for dinner. I had baked Halibut which was as good as usual.
