Rock Glen Falls

Another cool morning here in southwestern Ontario.

I called my mother in England to wish her a Happy Mothers Day. I bought a calling card the other day while in Niagara Falls for the princely sum of $2.50. Tried it for the first time today and received $5.00 worth of credit in my account, which allowed me to speak with her for over 16 hours if we wanted. However, calling from a payphone with a cool breeze blowing, I think I lasted for maybe 20 minutes. Chris is still trying to get through to her mother.

We attended the Mothers Day breakfast at the resort today. $3.50 for me and Chris was free. Met a few of the locals while there and received some nice compliments on our Bounder.

After breakfast we walked across the street to check out Rock Glen Falls. There is a 100 foot gorge with a waterfall. Arkona Lions have run boardwalks with stairs all over the place, making it a good hike down to the river and back. Trilliums are just starting to bloom. There is also a museum detailing the geology of the area including many fossils and Indian artifacts on display. Water levels are down at the moment but it is readily apparent that things boil up significantly during spring runoff. Entry fee is only a loonie for Resort campers.
