Small Silver Lining
So, being “broke down” in Brockville turned out not to be such a bad thing after all. Our truck was still running ok as long as we weren’t towing anything so, because we were running on empty, we drove into Brockville to get fuel and were so glad we did. The historic part of Brockville is absolutely gorgeous. Lovely old buildings, nice boardwalk along the river. What a hidden jewel!
And, on Sunday, we managed the 70km drive back to Morrisburg, where Upper Canada Village Park is and hiked around the village, taking in all the sites. It was a great way to spend the day. We bought some bread made on site from stone ground flour, visited the flour mill where the wheat was ground, watched a turbine powered sawmill in action and visited with the “residents” in the buildings.
Today (Monday) we took the truck into the dealership for diagnosis and all they could find was that the fuel filter was maybe plugged. All the other diagnostic tests passed with flying colours but the tech told us that his guess was as good as ours as to whether or not that solved the problem. We won’t know till we hit the road tomorrow. Our fingers are crossed.
We’ve enjoyed our brief stay here at the Happy Green Acres RV Park. It has been very quiet and relaxing. We have, however, made the decision not to go to Niagara Falls. That will have to wait for another trip.
