Marc and I took a drive down to Elora, Ontario (near Guelph) for the week-end to car camp and explore the area. On our way, we stopped in Peterborough to see the elevator lift locks. The campsites at the Grand River Conservation Area in Elora were not so great...we were basically sharing a site with another group, and the sites were not super clean, but we did back onto the Elora Gorge and you could here the rapids below. (And there were flush toilets!!) On Saturday, we spent most of the day tubing down the Grand River...there were a few rapids and lots of relaxing, enjoying the cliffs and sunshine. We also stopped in at the Elora Quarry, where Marc decided to jump off a cliff...crazy boy. We then went into the town for a local beer and back to the campsite for a late dinner. Sunday morning, we took a hike and then made our way to see friends Kelly and Pruyn in Toronto. Pics of our Elora week-end here.
