Had a work trip this week to Niagara Falls, NY. Last minute I decided to drive the XJ out and brought my Wife with me. We figured we would take the long way back home through Canada and camp for a night since I still had the tent on from the weekend before for the Overland Bound meet.

Crossed the border around 4:30 on Thursday and spent some time taking in the view of the falls from the Canadian side (10x better than our side) lol

Leaving the falls, we started heading east on small two laners in and out of rain storms till we reached Long Point Provincial park near Port Rowan, ON. Luckily got there just before they closed up for the night and scored what would end up being a really sweet campsite once the sun came up. Flipped the tent out and ate our gas station Ham & cheese croissants and Doritos then headed up to bed.
Woke up to a low sun and crashing waves from Lake Erie. Easily one of my favorite campsites we've been too

Jordan went straight to the beach but I decide to wash my important bits and snap some shots of the campsite first. Ended up chatting with an older local couple who had never seen a RTT before and they were obsessed with it lol not sure how their little Honda Fit would like it though.

I finally made it out to the beach after a 50 yard walk and it was quite the view ....and I found my wife lol

Spent about an hour going up and down the beach before we decided to pack up camp and start heading east. Took coastal roads all the way to Detroit where we crossed back over into the US. Picked the dog up from my parents and made it home before the sundown Friday night. Was a great way to end the week.

Lucky enough to make it home to one of the biggest cardboard boxes I've even seen. Of course from JCR, tore apart one of the boxes to find my front bumper! Between it and the gas tank skid that also came in, I think my gonna have a pretty cramped index finger from painted and installing these this weekend. More to come on that!
