We are having a cold one with our new friends at the KOA in Gravenhurst.Ed and Jane.Somehow it comes up that they used to live in Parry Sound.I ask him if he has ever been to Isabella Lake.I have never met anyone who has ever been there.When I was 16 my dad and I built a cabin on that lake.Anyway Ed says he was born and raised in Orrville,which is a small village of about 30 people about a km or 2 from the lake. I used to hang around the general store there.Awesome
Then they get new neighbours and they stop by for one,he works for Harley Davidson and no he did not have any samples so don't ask.Somehow we end up talking about small towns and Ed tells the guy from Harley's friend,or brother in law or something that he was born and raised in Orrville and I've been there.The guy says he was also born and raised in Orrville.
No Shit
They tell each other who they are and it turns out they were best friends as kids and have not seen each other since you know who was a cowboy.
Small world
Ya just can't make this shit up.
So yesterday
We were cruising through the 1 horse town of Barry's Bay and low and behold there it was.
Sittin by the side of the road in all it's glory
Pauls Chip Wagon
It was worth the wait,great fries,ate too many,way too full.
And just down the street were 2 more chip trucks
Feast or Famine.
I didn't stop again.
Now it's off to Pembroke.
Here in Ontario they have a ride program.
We know them as check stops.
I was stopped the other day around 2 pm driving the coach and again at a different place at 4 pm driving the car.
It's just not safe to drink and drive here.Not only will you take the risk of spilling the beer(rough roads) but you just might get charged
