Pub Crawl Day 15: Tobemory to St. Catharines, Ontario.

 Friday, July 20 is the last real travel day in the "official" Morgan Pub Crawl, though we all have to get home on Monday from this final destination.  Saturday and Sunday will be spent enjoying the Niagara area.

The early Tobermory morning dawned bright and inviting.

The marina adjacent to the hotel was a pleasant way to wake up.

The route today will take us from Tobermory south to St. Catharines, Ontario, a distance of some 250 miles.  The path begins in the wilderness of Canada and ends in the bustling metropolis of Toronto/Niagara Falls.  A shock to the senses as the ever increasing truck traffic along with well used high speed and very rough roads become your central thought. 

But the scenery through the small towns along the way remains a positive memory of Canada.

Along the route I wanted to see if I could find the old fishing camp my parents took me to when I was about 9 years old.  Er, some 60+ years ago.  Well, things have changed.  Char Hahn took this photo of Bruce Hardman's car tip toeing along a high crown dirt path.  We soon turned around.

After checking in to our very nice Sheraton Four Points accommodations, a touch of luxury we have not seen for two weeks, we joined the Morgan Sports Car Club of Canada for a reception and pub dinner in our honor. 

Dinner of pizza, hamburgers and fish sandwiches was enjoyed by all as we met new friends and learned more Morgan stories.

Tour organizer Charlie Miller presented a thank you gift to the MSCCC leader, John Roden. 

A nice touch to a long day. 

Tomorrow the MSCCC will take us on a tour of the Ontario wine country and Welland Canal in St. Catharines.
