<\/p>\n2nd Overnight at Chaffeys Lock<\/p>\n
44\u00b034\u203246\u2033 N 76\u00b018\u203257\u2033 W<\/p>\n
Today was a quiet day for us. We had decided to stay another night here because we had a very nice spot & there were more places to explore within easy walking distance.<\/p>\n
Today is also a special day because it\u2019s my granddaughter Zoe\u2019s 14th birthday. Happy Birthday Zoe! Here\u2019s hoping you have a great day today & an awesome year ahead!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Catherine & I & Emily all had had a good chat on the phone with Zoe to give her our best wishes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
We started our morning today by heading up to the Opinicon\u2019s Ice Cream Shoppe for a coffee & a cinnamon bun. Very tasty!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
After our breakfast treat we spent some time reading the newspaper & tidying up the boat.<\/p>\n
This afternoon Catherine & I went in a walking tour of the Chaffeys Lock area by following a small guide pamphlet prepared & printed by the local historical society. The route included a short section of the Cataraqui Trail – a former railway route that goes 104 kilometers from Napanee to Smiths Falls.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The short section of trail we walked on included a railroad bridge that was converted to accommodate hikers & bicycles as well as cross country skiing & snowmobiles in the winter.<\/p>\n
At the middle of the bridge there is a bicycle pump for travelers to use & a \u201cguest book\u201d set up by the friendly Troll who lives near the bridge.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
We concluded our walking tour by visiting the local historical museum set up & operated by the local historical society. Then back to the boat for a well-deserved rest before dinner.<\/p>\n
Tonight we were back at the Ice Cream Shoppe for sandwiches, salad & ice cream!<\/p>\n
Catherine & Emily also made use of the entertainment resources available for patrons.<\/p>\n
