Oct 18 - Toronto











We drove the 200 miles from Kingston to Toronto. Decided to travel on Sunday as the traffic should have been lighter -WRONG. 16 lanes wide at times -flowing well but soooo many on-off merges. Found out later that it was the Toronto marathon this weekend.








Passed Napanee, Belleville, Brighton, and Cobourg (all founded between 1786 -1798 by the United Empire Loyalist settlers who fled America after the Revolutionary War). Lots of old stone houses and ornate Victorian mansions. Trenton is home to CFB Trenton Air Force Base. By 1900, Cobourg was the most popular summer resort in Canada and continues to be today.

Checked into Indian Line Campground in northwest Toronto, near the airport.
