Ontario - like Ohio, only further north.

A map to get you oriented. 

In Canada, we soared over Burlington Bay on the  James N. Allen Skyway in Hamilton, Ontario.  The poor woman driving next to us is probably still shaking from that frisky gust of wind that rocked our bulky camper toward her little car.  That was exciting!  

James N. Allen Skyway

We continued west across Ontario to Port Heron, Michigan.

 Our route goal was twofold - save some time,  miss the heavy Chicago and Detroit traffic AND avoiddriving across Ohio, Iowa, Illinois…. which are a bit monotonous, gotta say it.   Turns out…Ontario looks remarkably like the American Midwest that is directly south of Ontario.  Imagine that....

The map showed a veritable grid of roads and we expected dense population but the grid was composed mostly of farm roads and just separated all the tidy dairy farms across southern Ontario. 

If I were very clever, I'd figure out how to highlight our route.
Nope!
Follow the road with all the red squares- lots of exits....
to small towns. 

But, thankfully, the road were without any obnoxious billboards.

Instead small tasteful signs announce the next town with its population and attractions. Wonderful and effective.  Who can pass up the cheese museum in Ingersoll, Ontario? 

Not these two dairy farmer’s daughters!  We did skip a cheese curds purchased (yes, we have been chastised) and the cheese with a “bite” was a bit  mild for us but we had a great time.

And we found great stuff to explore. 

Still pining for a loom. sigh

My maiden name was Heddles..... it's destiny, I need a loom.
Where on earth would I put a loom? Or do with one? 

This was a great little museum- dairy industry in Ingersoll, cool displays of town history and this great story!

"....decided to take his bicycle and go exploring."
There's an understatement!

This was so cool- here's the relics of a true traveler!
(The bike.....)

Still here after all these years!
And he biked in ONE gear the entire way!  One less thing to break. 

Can't you just see this guy peddling across Mongolia! 

On to the cheese factory museum....

Hmm.... we forgot to take more photos. 

Except this one shot.
Of eggs..... from Montreal.  Still Canada.
And a great cow!
