Overnight at Jones Falls

44°32′49″ N 76°14′20″ W

It rained most of last night & into the morning but the forecast said the rain would stop between 10 & 11am. We walked up to the Opinicon Ice Cream Shoppe around 9:00 & had a coffee & cinnamon bun while we waited for the rain to end.

We left Chaffeys around 11 & our trip to Jones Falls was only a little over an hour, including passing through Davis Lock.

By the time we arrived at Jone Falls the rain had pretty much stopped & the sun was starting to find its way through the clouds. It even got warm enough for Catherine & Emily to have a swim off the back of the boat. I stayed on shore & acted as their lifeguard.

After the swim Catherine & I went for a little hike around the lock site while Emily had a nap.

This is one of our favorite spots on the Rideau System so we will probably spend another night here before moving on.

Tonight’s dinner menu is BBQ chicken with BBQ’d red peppers & roasted potatoes & onions.

Cheers!
