Solo Touring

[footloose]

So glad you're back and enjoyed yourself so thoroughly! You experienced the same kind of treatment from people that I have while motorcycling all over North America. People are wonderful!

Now make sure you contact me when you plan your Ontario portion of the trip. As Shootingstar mentioned, summers here can be quite warm and humid but for someone from Florida shouldn't be a problem. We don't get hurricanes but we get afternoon thunderstorms sometimes and the odd tornado. But it's flat here and you can see them coming.... There's also lots of perfectly normal, mild days.

I'll assist you any way I can and maybe I'll even get to ride with you for a bit.

Before you freak out bikingtourook, southwestern Ontario's tornadoes are VERY rare.

Wow, you're my hero. Thank you for keeping us up to date!

Yes, that's true!

Thanks for the info on thunderstorms....because I will absolutely "freak out" at he hint of one. I pushed almost 70 miles back to Milford because I was told that a storm was expected later in the evening. It did rain, but no fireworks.

Here are just a few photos from my tour.

I guess one or some did not take....Let's try this

I can see it already..when you get to footloose's area, you will want to spend at least 2 days there, if time is spent talking with the guide/curator at each site. There will be 3 different sites for you to see in that area...which we saw last summer.

I understand that at the Buxton site there is some sort of annual event..during the summer which footloose may know more about.

Hi, other photos have been posted. You can find them on Facebook under "Lynnteer Bennett." Hope you all will enjoy them.

I happened to be working in the area of Uncle Tom's Cabin today so stopped around at the museum on my lunch break. It's not officially open for the season yet (opens on the Canadian Victoria Day long weekend in May) but I was pretty sure Steve and Brenda would be there, getting things ready and they were.
The website isn't updated with this information yet but I found out that their Emancipation Day celebration is July 31st this year. Just so you're aware...that is a long weekend in Ontario with the civic holiday of August 1st.

The Buxton National Historic Site has a Homecoming Weekend celebration but that is held on the Labour Day weekend in Sept.

Have you decided on a date yet for the rest of your trip?
