At Karlo Estates we looked at their stone bridge built without any mortar with chocolate limestone. Beautiful. Richard the wine maker came to say hello. Anders loved their Port. www.Karloestates.com

After so much wine in the morning, it was time for lunch at the County Cider Company. Their cider, especially their Waupoos, is very good and not too sweet. Their pizzas are amazing, made in a wood fired oven. We sat out in the orchard and enjoyed ourselves.

After lunch, it was time to hit the cheese shops. The Fifth Town Artisan Cheese Co makes exceptional Goat, Cow, and Sheep milk cheeses. Their "Lost Lake" soft cheese was excellent.

We also visited a wine barrel manufacturer. A very interesting place.

Taking the larger ferry back. |
Black clouds were rolling in. We set up camp and listen to the weather reports: severe Thunderstorm and Tornado Warnings! Wow, we just had the trailer repaired...?!?.
Reports said that the weather was coming in over Lake Huron and will make its way toward Toronto and Kingston.
It's storming. |
It's storming. The RV is shaking in the wind. |
On-line we monitored the storm coming closer. There was still a Tornado warning, we checked every 15 minutes. Over the campsite thunder followed lightening instantly. The sky was lit up, heavy rains and hail just was bombarding us.
Finally after about an hour and half it eased up, there was more time between lightening and the thunder. We relaxed a bit. But around about 3:30 am strong winds and thunder came back. Luckily this time not as severe. That was quite the night!
