Fatigue won out last night, so you got short-changed on all of our pictures. So, here are more:
 |
| This chart should give you an idea of the twists and turns this waterway takes. By car it's 120 miles from Trenton to Port Severn but via the water. On Sunday we left Trenton, Sunday night we were just past Campbellford and yesterday we made it to Peterborough. Those were two very long days of locking and traveling, but the rest of the trip through the Trent-Severn will be more leisurely. Our goal was to meet up with Blue Willow and we made it. |
 |
| Many nice homes and cottages along the waterway. The Trent-Severn reminds us very much of the Northern Michigan inland waterways (Indian River, Burt Lake, Mullet Lake, etc.) |
 |
| We saw many family outings along the way...fishing, swimming, just relaxing on the water. Rice Lake, through which we passed, is listed as one of the best fishing lakes in Canada. Dreaming of a perch and bluegill fry makes my mouth water! Jim is planning to purchase a fishing license so maybe that dream will come true. |
 |
| This interaction between lock master & assistant is typical. They all have gone out of their way to make us feel welcome, and offered advice on things to see. |
 |
| It's very typical to see falls of differing heights at all of the locks. This is Lock 19, our last before Peterborough. Only 23 to go!!! |
 |
| This man-made water fountain is a surprising sight after clearing the lock and entering the harbor at Peterborough. It was provided to Peterborough by one of the utility companies for their centennial. Like the fountain in Grand Haven, it is lit with colors at night. (No music, though.) |
 |
| Entering Peterborough Marina |
 |
| We saw this crew boat fully engaged with their rowers in their pink flotation devices. Our assumption was that they are all either breast cancer survivors or somehow touched by breast cancer. It was an awesome sight! |
 |
| You go, girls!!! |
