Awenda Provincial Park - Today we had to leave Lake Manitou and the wonderful hospitality if the Gammage family. Our plan was to get up and head out but we just couldn't pull ourselves away. It was a beautiful sunny morning and the lake was calm. The kids got up late and went for a swim. Again, they were out on the kayaks and paddle boards. They were also snorkelling and hunting for crayfish, clams and minnows. We had a great breakfast and Matt went for a paddle while I sat on the dock and enjoyed the scenery. Then finally we had to accept that it was time to go. We packed up the trailer, said goodbye to our friends and headed out around lunchtime. We made it past the swing bridge and we were off the island. We decided to drive through Sudbury and revisit some of our old stomping grounds. It has really changed and we had a hard time remembering which apartment building Matt had lived in. We drive through the Laurentian University campus and again there were a lot of changes. My beautiful view of Lake Ramsey and the UC parking lot was completely blocked by a new building they squeezed in. After that we stopped for groceries and had a picnic lunch in the parking lot of the grocery store. At this point we realized we hadn't made much progress towards our destination and got back in the car and headed to Awenda Provincial Park which is near Midland. We arrived around six o'clock and got set up. It was roasted weinies and pizza leftovers for dinner, some s'mores and then off to bed. Let's see what tomorrow brings ...
