 We spent 3 wonderful nights in Meaford, ON.  It was a fun historical town.
It started as most with a sawmill for industry, but became known for it's apple orchards.  Many of those orchards were destroyed by the Canadian military during WWI.  They displaced the citizens, chopped down the orchards and used the land for military drills.  It is still under military control today and the Canadian Department of Defense uses the area as a firing range.

We visited the local museum and saw the below marine speed devise.  We have a smaller one stored on the boat.  Mike purchased it from an antique store.

This Coast Guard boat was on display at the marina.

Elwood was impressed by the coastguard prop.

We went to a beach and Elwood met another Bichon.  He was a little more shy than Elwood.

 Which on is Which?

It was amazing watching this fog roll in.

There was a festival going on in Meaford this weekend.  This is the longest portable water slide.

They also had this jump.  It must be scary when you are standing on the platform.

This is a picture of the Meaford town.

This is the Meaford townhall.
