So last day, so we decided to make the very best of it pretty much like we do every day. We were able to head directly out of our campsites on our bike and rode along Cedar Creek Trail via the cat contrail. It was hard patch dirt, and it’s someplace is gravel. We went under canopy trees in the transfer very well manicured, but we didn’t dare stop for the mosquitoes would after us.
We then headed over to Erieau for what we thought would be a short 1 to 2 mile hike. It turned out to be 4 1/2 miles as we parked and walked through the town down to the White House. This is a very small town and I guess the population to be 500. I was slightly off as Wikipedia says there are 363 residents, it definitely has a beach field as there are RV parks, a few in a few restaurants and ice cream shops, a very well used beach, and fisherman going in and out of the inlet.
As you walk up to the lighthouse, it almost looks like an old abandoned Apollo spacecraft. It was built in 1844 when the town decided, they needed a way to bring boats into shore with their cargo. Before that boats were anchoring out in the lake and bringing goods to shore, so a Harbor was dredged and Lighthouses were placed on each side.? , the west lighthouse went through some damage as it was abandoned, burned down and even destroyed by the elements. It was finally renovated. It is now run by the Canadiann Coast Guard. I would say it’s absolutely necessary as I saw many small boats entering the harbor. Honestly, I would have to say it is the ugliest Lighthouse we’ve seen so far.
Rather than Cook on our last night we decided to go out for a late lunch in Blenheim. Scotty decided to go for a burger platter and I decided I would just get an appetizer.
