Back to the US -- for the second time this summer!

On Friday, we left Bronte Creek Provincial Park, just west of Toronto, and headed south around the end of Lake Ontario...

As we crossed the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge, we could see the pair of power plants on both sides of the Niagara River (Canadian on the right, American on the left).

As we approached the border, there was an exit identified as "Trucks" and another for "Autos". We weren't sure which Gracie should identify as, and, since the "Trucks" did not indicate "Commercial", we took the "Trucks" exit. As it turned out, both exits ended up in the same place, and by the time we got to the Immigration/Customs area, the signs indicated "Auto/RV/Bus" versus "Commercial", so it was clear.

There was a Holiday Rambler in the left lane, and we were able to join the right lane from where we had been in the "Truck" exit. The rightmost lane was for Commercial Trucks only (and there was no waiting in that area -- unlike the "Auto/RV/Bus" lanes).

After about 20 minutes of waiting...

The two lanes split into 6 lanes to go through the immigration/customs check point.

About an hour after we joined the lines, we were through...

... and into NY state!

We stopped at another Harvest Host on Friday night,

We were the only Harvest Host participant at the brewery on Friday night.

We got a pizza for dinner

We had a good night's stay, although it was warm and humid and we had to run the generator quite a while to get Gracie cooled down enough for us to feel comfortable sleeping. It was quiet and a good place to stay.
