Yikes! Will we be in Canada shortly?

Day 18 -  Monday, August 1, 2022

Daisy Barn Campground, Wilson NY

Today's weather report shows 60 degrees and sunny when we wake in Shenango, Pennsylvania, and by 10am we are on our way to Daisy Barn Campground in Wilson, New York.  I wonder if Daisy Barn is a lady's name....  The highway is quite scenic, but has some low hanging limbs that scrape the roof of Sweet Georgia Brown, and we hope we don't find any low bridges.  The photo below shows a serious hill on the narrow road.

It is exciting that we are getting closer to New York, and I take a photo of each highway sign that I see, in case it is significant to our trip.  We see Buffalo and Cleveland, then State Line, which is in Ripley and the border between Pennsylvania and New York.

Our destination is still a long ways away, so we don't take the time to visit the winery, but hope to find a Harvest Host winery somewhere along our Maine Odyssey.  We also have to skip Niagra Falls -- so many interesting places to visit, and so little time.  Oh, and did I mention that there is more construction?

Ah, the Welcom sign -- "Experience - Explore - Enjoy"

I'm sure we will.  On the right are vineyards for the winery.

I get even more excited to see Lakes Erie and Ontario on our left.  My camera barely gets a glimpse of the lake, because it is on the driver's side.   

Excitement turns to fear and panic as we begin to see signs ahead for the Peace Bridge between the United States and Canada.  Surely, surely our GPS and mapping program have not directed us onto the wrong road.  There are no signs saying "If you made a wrong turn, exit here."  (A little bit of humor here.)    We continue toward Buffalo and enjoy the skyline of the city.

But what if, just if, we get on the Peace Bridge.  We do have our Nexus passes and passports with us, so hopefully we can turn around soon and return to the United States.

 

OK, relax now.  We are not in the lane leading to the Peace Bridge and Canada!  We arrive safely to our campground for the evening, Daisy Barn in Wilson, NY.
