Tim and I have now started coming back west along the TranCanada Highway in CAnada and are in Parry Sound at the moment. We couldn't find anyplace to camp last night as all the campgrounds were full. Several places suggested we stay at Walmart because the next city was a good distance drive. So.....we bit the bullet and stay in Walmart's parking lot. There were about 3 other big rigs and 4 5th wheels/trailers here so we felt comfortable and safe.
Now, no offense to those of you who like to stay at Walmart; but Tim and I would rather be in a campground and prefer to avoid Walmarts. However, this one worked out well. We met another couple from the States and shared information. We bought things we needed at Walmart, so felt we did our part. We were prepared to keep the slide in and not put down the jacks; but others had their out, so we did too.
We are off this morning to Espanola near the Killarney Provincial Park. Apparently it's beautiful. WE have reservations at a small campground with only 20 amp service. We've also learned a lesson, make reservations on weekends and check to make sure we know when their holidays are as their campgrounds fill up fast.
Another bit of information. We were completely surprised at the amount of heavy traffic in and around Toronoto. It was bumper to bumper...looked just like Interstate 5 between LA and San Diego.
