Kingston

Short jaunt to Kingston. "Gas Buddy" showed gas in Shannonville @$0.929/litre. Could not pass up the opportunity as the truck was running low.  Carried on to the KOA. They wanted over $60 per night. Felt this was highway robbery so continued into town and found Rideau Acres @ $42.50 / night. We are camped on the Rideau River just north of Locks #1-4 of the Rideau Canal system. Setup camp and rushed back into town for the 3pm 1000 Island cruise. They had to hold the boat for us, but we made it.. What a beautiful town. First Capital of the province of Canada. Sir John A. MacDonald (our first Prime Minister) narrated most of our cruise. Yes he knew he was dead... Saw Kingston, shore and islands from the water. Lots of history, beautiful architecture and old buildings. Found a brew pub too. Excellent beer, lots of character. Got back to camp and watched a thunderstorm roll in. Great light show, lots of wind and rain. Finished around 10pm.
