Buckhorn Ontario



We arrived in Buckhorn to find it quite the party place. Immediately upon exiting Lock 31 we were astounded to find the lock walls completely full. As we passed a larger boat they told us that they were leaving and that we could have their space. So Captain Mark adeptly turned us around and we had the primo docking space. Of course, with the primo docking location comes the myriad of questions about the Lolligag and Chicago which is fine as we always enjoy meeting new people.

Check out this canoe with an addition - who would have ever thought of something like this?



We were docked almost in front of the Main Street Landing so we, of course, had to have dinner there. Food was good – they have the most wonderful French Fries up here but they call them Fresh Cut Fries. They are homemade French Fries made from fresh potatoes. While Captain Mark is boring and prefers ketchup, I prefer malt vinegar on mine.



Dottie is such a perfect dog but she does go rather crazy around horses. She can hear a horse coming toward our house in Indiana when it is more than a half mile away. Since she has not found any horses here in Canada, she decided to bark furiously at this elk statue.



Since we were on the lock wall and consequently had no electricity, once again we were asleep by dark.
