Day 11, Friday, September 12, 2025, Riverside Motel & Campground, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Day 3 - 0 Miles, 635.9 Miles for the trip.
A somewhat warm night at 58°F but a cool morning in the trailer - the campground breaker tripped during the night so the electric heater didn't come on. It was down to 61F in the trailer by morning. I suspect the converter, electric heater & the electric water heater all came on at once, tripping the breaker. With all three it should have been under 30 amps, but the breaker might have been a little soft. Anyhow I reset it when I went for my morning walk.
After breakfast and a little reading I started baking the pies. The blueberries are still frozen but that usually just means it will take a bit longer in the oven. Still cool enough outside at 72°F that the MAXX fan is keeping the trailer under 80°f even with the oven at 400°F. If it gets any warmer I'll have to fire up the AC.
Two Escape 5.0's as well as a Trillium arrived last night & this morning so we are up to 16 trailers.
By the time I started the third pie I broke down and started the AC. While 78°F in the front of the trailer it was 84°F at the back where I'm sitting waiting on the timer. Speaking (well, typing) about the timer it is time for a new one. About 1/2 way through the second half (I turn the pie around in the oven half way through) it started switching between the timer and the time of day. If you caught it at the right time you could see the remaining time, but it is hard to trust it.
Another Trillium arrived around 1:20 so we are up to 17. During the afternoon a couple more Escapes including a 23 arrived, along with another Boler & Bigfoot. I think we are up to 24 trailers + 1 class B van.

Went to the showers around 4:00. Not a lot good to say about them other than they are roomy. Very weak spray but still half the drying area floor gets wet. No hooks, just a plastic lawn chair in the drying area. There is a shelf in the shower. No better than a C-
Dinner was the rest of the pork loin soaked in barbecue sauce, a salad, beans & applesauce.
Until Tomorrow -
