Empty beach (except for me). Still at Fitzroy Provincial Park and we were happy to run into some friends who were also camping there. We took some long walks with them and shared a couple of campfires/drinks with them. We really enjoyed their company and we had a lot of fun, thanks Derek and Diane! (and Piper, they have the most adorable dog)
Spotted this guy by the side of the road 
One of the trails we walked , the Carp Trail 
Exciting trail! All uphill and muddy 
Things we see on our walks 
Boat Launch on a dark and dreary day
One day we went out of the Park and ended up at two breweries and a Conservation Area. Arnprior is about 15 minute drive away and it’s a town with lots of shopping, restaurants etc. We went to Arnprior a couple of times to check out the Lumberjack Ale House. Great little spot and the food and drinks were also great.
Fitzroy Harbour is only about 5 minute drive outside the Park but there is not too much there. They do, however, have a nice Conservation Area, Morris Island Conservation Area which we did not investigate because the day we stopped there it started raining, a regular deluge. Our friends told us they had went there the day after we the Park and said it was great. Next time…
Pakenham is maybe 25-30 minute drive from the Park and we stopped in at Cartwright Springs Brewery for a look. The guy who owned it was really friendly and he had some pretty good beer too.
We also stopped in Almonte, about a 30 minute drive, to check out Crooked Mile Brewery. It was a cute spot but I just read recently that they permanently closed. So many businesses are closing for lack of staff, financial reasons, it’s very sad.
On one of our drives, somewhere in the area, we came across these little birds so I shall end this post with bird photos I took. See you next time!
