After Kyle's visit with Willie, we packed up and got on the road. First chance we got, detour was made to the back roads. Our first objective was to find the cheapest gas so Harriston had gas under a buck. Enroute was found our first winery. Hoity Toity Cellar, had to stop, actually we had to turn around, Went in and talked to Gary and Diane the owners, They were charming. Because it is a cold region, special grapes that can withstand the cold are grown, they also make ciders. Must say that the grape wine was not the best, but the rhubarb wine was delightful. And had to buy some dry apple cider too. Loved their name. Diane also suggested the a local enroute craft brewery.

After Diane's suggested detour, we happen upon her suggested tastery. The lady serving had a personality of a wet paper bag, but had to take a phone call and handed us over to a nice young gentleman that had loads of personality and information. This craft brewery is in the former site of the Crystal Springs Brewery established in 1859, is the oldest operating original brewery building in Ontario.
Some locals... Many Mennonites in this area
Got down to Ingersoll and situated at a campsite. Got through 2 of the craft beers and it started thundering, moments later the rain came down, Snuggle in for the night..
